20th. Century Japanese Cloisonne Vase Silver Mesh Overlay or 20th. Century English Vase w/Silver Overlay

This is a beautiful Japanese Cloisonne Vase w/ Silver mesh wire overlay, or it is a 20th. Century English vase w/ Silver Overlay as the enclosed document states. Please see picture. I submitted this vase to Bonhams & Butterfields back in 2011 for identification and apparaisal.

They sent me the paperwork back & Schedule A to the Master Consignment Agreement, and as you can see it clearly says: "20th. Century English Vase w/Silver Overlay", also it states Designated Reserve for sale at: $700, Low Estimate: $1000, High Estimate $1500.00.

I have scoured the internet for similar vases and found both an equal amount of English Vases as well as the Japanese Cloisonne Enamel vases with wire mesh. First, I am not a professional collector, appraiser, nor serious collector of vases, I leave that up to the professionals.

So tha'ts where the rub is.... you can purchase this as a 20th. Century Japanese Cloisonne Vase or 20th. Century English Vase w/ Silver Mesh Overlay, whatever fits your fancy as a collector. That way no mis-representation on my part of what this vase is. So please refrain from making rude comments regarding this sale of vase, the original paperwork is all I have for the description.

The vase measures: 9 inches height x 4-1/4 inch at the widest part. Has a 2-1/2 inch mouth opening, and the base measures 3 inches across. Beautiful intracate painting of Lotus flower, stem & leaves in a dark purple blue w/ adjoining yellow flower (5 pedals). Exquisite silver overlay with (looks like) bamboo reeds. Tightly woven mesh around the base & mouth.

No chipping, glazing, and the background color looks like dark pink? This vase is unmarked, in excellent condition, I did not remove the dust from inside base, whoops! view all pictures. Have a great week and thanks for reading this description in it's entirety.
