Stunning Japanese Antique Plique-a-jour Cloisonne Vase with Bird
Antique Japanese rare plique-a-jour cloisonne vase. This is a very early plique and in perferct condition. Intricate enamel design of a blossoming tree and a blue bird flying through a light blue sky with little clouds. The design is made with fine silver wire and enamel. Plique-a-jour is made when the inside metal armature has been etched away until the enamel is held in place by the wires only. The effect is a beautiful jewel-like translucency. The rim and bottom of the vase are also silver.
