Subject:Re: Cloisonné Vase Pair (Foil?)
Posted By: Bill H Mon, Oct 07, 2019
You have a nice pair of Japanese "ginbari", (A.K.A. silver foil) cloisonné on copper mini-vases in the form of a beaker. I believe they likely are Meiji-period (1868-1912), which was a booming time for export art such as this. Probably not very rare, since I own one in the same design, measuring 2.5" H X 1.75" on top X 1.25" at the base. There a base-mark of Ota Toshiro on mine and photos of it below.
Here are other related links. You'll see that there was another cloisonné mark in use for an Ota Jinnoei but I've seen no clarification of whether it is related to Ota Toshiro or not.
Best regards,
Bill H.
