Fine Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Vase with Flying Cranes Artist Signed
Here is a wonderful Japanese classic yusen shippo (with standard wire) enamel cloisonné vase decorated with three flying cranes besides stylized colorful clouds. The background is worked with a light yellow colored enamel and the vase is in excellent vintage condition without any major faults such as cracks, chips or hairlines or restoration. Most artist workshops stayed away from yellow and other light colored enamels for the background color as it revealed virtually any enamel inconsistency or fault. The only condition issue that is noted is the light oxidation on the top rim.

Most specialists generally agree that less than 7. % of Japanese cloisonne enameled works are marked or signed by the artist or workshop. A very similar vase is illustrated in Chapter 16, Yusen-jippo, standard wire cloisonne enamel, in Japanese Cloisonne Enamels; A Private Collectors Notes and Reference Guide, by Gary Yoshino, page 147.

The translation to the commemorative event that this vase was commissioned for is provided in the last image. Once again, this specific vase is not the vase that is illustrated in the reference book.

Overall, a very peaceful and uplifting design of cranes soaring by colorful clouds. The height of this vase is approximately 7.25 inches. The width of this vase is approximately 3.75 inches. Due to the fragile nature of cloisonné enamels, this item will be double boxed and packed with tremendous care.
