The item up for auction is an exquisite 19c Japanese Champleve enameled vase, censer, or brush pot. The outside is decorated with Red/Blue yin and yang foo dogs guardian lions dragons holding flowers between their teeth. There is little ash in interior which leads me to believe that maybe it was used as censer. Its for the majority on one side, and almost seems like glass/amber-like kind of ash. Putting pics of it in the description. Overall this would make lovely vase or ornamental decoration. It is very large and measures approx. 12" tall and 1/2" wide. There is some enamel missing in spots, but overall this is beautiful piece of Japanese history. It is signed on the bottom but was unable to identify it. If you have any questions please message me. Thanks for looking.
