Impressive Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Vase - Signed by Ando

Description

Here is a beautiful Japanese cloisonne enamel vase with a bulbous body and short collared neck.
The vase is finely decorated with alternating panels of formal dragons and phoenix designs.
There are some goldstone particles in the panels which provide a wonderful sparkle.
This design is a familiar theme, but it is rarely depicted on a larger work, due to the complexity and labor.
This vase is in excellent antique condition without any major faults such as cracks, chips or hairlines or restoration. The
Ando
trademark is formed in wire in the bottom base.
The height of this vase is approximately 9.25 inches
The width at the midpoint of the vase is approximately 7.25 inches
Overall, a very interesting and exceptional quality cloisonné vase that is in excellent condition marked by
Ando
, considered by many as one of the top Japanese cloisonne workshops.
As Japanese cloisonné enamel is very fragile, we will double box and pack this item with tremendous care.
Due to the large size and weight of this vase, we would like to ask the buyer if they could help offset some of the cost of shipping this vase by USPS Priority Mail.
This vase will be shipped by USPS Priority Mail with insurance to confirmed addresses within the United States.
We currently cannot ship overseas or make international deliveries at this time.
International customers who utilize freight forwarding companies are asked to retrain from purchasing as deliveries are taking extremely long.
Please ask any and all questions
before
purchasing this vase. Thank you!
