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.
