The vase features an imposing slender shape with a long neck and geometric side handles applied to the upper part. The surface is finely hand-decorated with raised enamel details (moriage) and rich gilt detailing.
On the base is the original red-painted mark with kanji characters 大日本 (Dai Nippon - Great Japan) followed by the name of the famous Kyoto workshop (Nishida) and the original period inventory number.
In generally good condition considering the object's age. Note some surface glaze imperfections on the shoulder (clearly visible in the close-up photos) and the normal, slight wear of the upper gilding. A small crack visible in the photos on the neck of the vase.
