Elegant 8 ¼ tall vase with a colorful pheasant with cherry blossoms in a truly Japanese design. The vase has such delicate and labor intensive designs. Tall cylindrical body with an extremely delicate design of a pheasant on a lively blue background. The throat of the vase was painted with a rich greenish turquoise enamel. The red tongue of the pheasant is so tiny and even the feathers of the pheasant have such a precise shading.

The blue body enamel has small minute metallic silvery dots. The vase is made from brass and coated in glass enamels, with brass wires form cells to separate the colors. The mouth and foot show the brass body.

All other surfaces are coated in enamels. The workmanship is so minute and delicate. There are no marks or signatures. 8 ¼ (21.0 cm) tall x 3 ¼ (8.3 cm) diameter.

Weighs 12.9 oz (370 g). There is an abrasion on the back near the top shoulder. There is a fracture in the glass near the base but there are no enamel losses. You can see small wear scratches from wear and age in the sunlight but they are minute. Such a colorful, artistically produced work of art.
