Pair of small Japanese cloisonné enameled brass vases, Meiji period

A pair of Japanese cloisonné enameled brass vases dating from the Meiji period (1868-1912). These small vases feature a decoration of multicolored butterflies and flowers on a blue, green, and black background, enhanced with gold trim.
