Slender Japanese Enamel Vase with a Jade Style Wireless Design Ando PIB

  

Here is a tall and elegant Japanese classic musen shippo (wireless) enamel cloisonné vase decorated with light green jade or jadeite style wireless design. The design is very subtle and refined. When they first appeared on the market about 20 years ago, they were very expensive, and I was so overjoyed to acquire several examples for a hefty price!

The vase is finished in a high polish and is in pristine vintage condition without any major faults such as cracks, chips or hairlines or restoration. The only notable item is a small dent to the bottom rim which does not affect the surrounding enamel and cannot be seen when the vase is displayed. This exact vase is pictured on page 62, in Chapter 8, "Musen-Jippo, Without wire, wireless enamel and E-Gaki-Jippo painted enamel, " in the reference book entitled, "Japanese Cloisonne Enamels; A Private Collector's Notes and Reference Guide" by Gary Yoshino. Overall, a very refined and high quality cloisonné vase that is marked by the prestigious Ando workshop.

The height of this vase is approximately 9.5 inches. The width of the vase is approximately 4.0 inches. As Japanese cloisonné enamel is very fragile we will double box and pack this item with tremendous care. This item is in the category "Antiques\Asian Antiques\Japan\Vases".
