This pair of cloisonné copper vases date back to the Japanese Meiji period (1868-1911). Each vase stands on a round base rim on which a baluster shaped body ascends. In the middle of the articulated shoulder a narrow neck with a trumped shaped mouth rim rises. A border of circles, made of fine silver wire adorns the foot as well as the mouth. Each wall has a midnight blue ground, where detailed crafted dragons in polychrome colors can be found. The two dragons are facing each other and act as a pair.



The vases are in good condition with only slight signs of age and wear such as a minimal loss of material and small scratches. Each height measures 16 cm.
