A pair of cloisonné enameled metal vases
By Hayashi Kodenji, Meiji Period
Each high-shouldered ovoid body decorated to the front with birds cavorting near flowering chrysanthemum bushes, all silhouetted against a Prussian blue ground above a foliate-patterned band encircling the base and repeated below the flaring rim, with silver edges, inlaid silver studio mark on the base.
