Subject:Small vase with heron or crane relief
Posted By: Steve Fri, May 19, 2017 IP: 2601:03c0:4180:02a7:
This small vase is approx. 3.75 inches tall and 2.5 inches diameter at its widest point. Appears to be brass clad over ceramic or porcelain. The birds are in relief from the vase. See attached pictures. I am trying to identify origin, date, and style of this vase. Any help would be appreciated

This is "Shippo" type cloisonné which also often uses lacquer to form the "tree bark" texture seen around the neck and base. The mark on the base is "Taishiro" (田代), possibly Taishiro Shoten, a ceramics maker that operated circa the Meiji to Occupation period. See the link for an earlier thread.

Best regards,
