Condition:

Good antique condition overall. There are two small areas of enamel loss/damage, which have been photographed closely for transparency. There is also some light surface wear and age-related marks consistent with an antique piece.

The two small areas are much more noticeable in the close-up photographs than when viewing the vase normally and do not detract significantly from its overall appearance.

Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.

A very attractive little Japanese cloisonné vase and a lovely addition to a collection of antique Japanese decorative arts, cloisonné or miniature vases.
