Antique Figural Cloisonne Box Fruit Japanese Meiji Era

Beautiful figural antique Japanese Cloisonne box shaped like an eggplant or fruit. From the Estate of a local collector/dealer, dates from the Meiji Era (1868 to 1912).

It is in very good condition with no major loss of enamel or any cracks. It has a couple of very tiny spots on the top where the enamel level is lower. It has a slice along the edge on the bottom measuring 1.5mm wide and extending 5/16" along the edge of the base on the solid Turquoise area. It is only visible when the box is upside down.

This beautiful and unusual Japanese Cloisonne box measures 3 3/8" long and is 2 1/8" approximately at the widest point.
