19th century, of ovoid form, with an elongated waisted neck and ruffled rim, decorated in red, black, and gilded lacquer with birds perched on flowering branches and other Japanese motifs and patterns, each vase separates into three parts.

64 in.

Stable; a great deal of loss to lacquer on both vases; on some of lacquer that remains there is a thin paper film over it perhaps to protect from any further loss; cracking at the bottom of both vases; repair at bottom base of one vase.
