Vintage Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Vase Ota Hiroaki Pure Silver Rim OSV10

This is a vintage Japanese cloisonné enamel vase (shippo-yaki) created by the artist Ota Hiroaki, whose signature mark is present on the base. The vase features a soft, elegant yellow ground adorned with intricate, stylized floral and scroll motifs in white and gold, reminiscent of classical Japanese patterns.

A notable feature of this high-quality piece is its rim, which is stamped with a "Pure Silver" (純銀, jungin) mark, adding a touch of refined luxury to the delicate enamel work. The contrast between the smooth enamel, the shimmering gold detailing, and the silver mounts showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of traditional Japanese cloisonné. This piece serves as a bright, sophisticated accent for any interior or as a beautiful addition to a fine enamelware collection.
