A Japanese Cloisonne Vase - Cranes - Showa

A small Japanese cloisonne vase with a solid black ground on which are seen two white flying cranes. The vase measures 3 1/4" high by 3" diameter at the widest. We date this to the early Showa period, circa 1930-1950. It has Made in Japan stamped on the bottom base rim. It is in excellent condition with a couple of light scratches on the back. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy beasts (others include the dragon and tortoise), and is said to live for a thousand years.
