| Place of origin |
The heavy copper body has an applied silver rim and base plate with the jungin mark. The rich green enamel ground has a pale green musen design of peonies and leaves. The matt counter-enamel is of yet another shade of green. The inner base, which carries the mark of the Ando Company in silver yusen, is enamelled in the same colour as the ground. The company is still producing very similar work today and clients have the option of choosing between vases with rims and base plates of real silver or chrome-plate.
