Place of origin |
The shotai-jippo vase has an applied chrome-plated rim and base plate. It is decorated with a silver yusen design of peony, gentian, convolvulus and chrysanthemum in varying shades of lightly shaded translucent green-blue enamels on a similarly toned translucent green enamel ground. There are silver yusen geometric patterns around both the rim and base. Very similar pieces were still being produced in Nagoya and sold through the Inaba Company of Kyoto until the late 1990s (and illustrated in brochures of that period).
