| Pair of large signed Japanese Totai cloisonné vases. It is hard to find such a fine pair of cloisonné on porcelain vases in such excellent condition! Anyone familiar with the cloisonné on porcelain technique will appreciate that the vases are much more attractive than the photographs suggest. The pictures show all sides of both vases. The first picture shows the two vases; the vase on the left is vase A and the one on the right is vase B. The second picture shows the opposite sides of each vase. The third picture that has 4 panels shows details of all the surfaces of vase A and the fourth picture shows details of all the surfaces of vase B. The signature on the underside of the vase is depicted in the last picture. As can be seen, the two vases are not identical but are well-matched. Vase A has a cartouche with a white cloisonné background that is decorated with flowers and birds and in between the white cartouches is turquoise cloisonné decorated with butterflies. Vase B is the reverse; it has two turquoise cartouches with white in between that is also decorated with butterflies. The necks and feet of both vases are similar in design, but not identical. As can be seen the interiors are a creamy white in color. A stunning pair of old and very hard to find Totai cloisonné vases! Each 11¼" (H) and signed.
