This elegant Japanese cloisonne enamel vase, dating to the Meiji Period, features a sophisticated black ground decorated with intricate floral and faunal motifs. The central band of the vessel is adorned with a turquoise-colored field containing finely detailed butterflies and blossoms, bordered by traditional geometric and foliate patterns in shades of cobalt blue, green, and deep red. Delicate white cherry blossoms are scattered across the neck and shoulders. The vase is presented on a traditional carved dark wood pedestal stand, which enhances its graceful silhouette and provides a stately display profile.
