Pure Silver Vase by Eisho Engraved
Featuring a finely polished mirror-like surface that beautifully enhances the sculptural decoration.The body is exquisitely decorated using delicate engraving, low relief, and selective gold inlay to depict an auspicious long-tailed bird descending above a rocky landscape. The bird is rendered with remarkable precision, its outstretched wings and flowing tail feathers conveying both grace and movement. Subtle gilt accents highlight the beak, talons, and other details, creating a refined contrast against the luminous silver ground.Below, finely engraved rocks, wild grasses, and seasonal plants complete a tranquil natural composition. The highly polished silver surface reflects ambient light, allowing the engraved imagery to shift in appearance as the viewing angle changes, an effect highly appreciated in fine Japanese silverwork of the Meiji period.Combining restrained elegance with exceptional craftsmanship, this vase is a distinguished example of Japanese decorative silver, admired for both its artistic refinement and technical excellence. Height: 30.6cm Diameter: 14.5cm Weight: 1266g
