Meiji to Showa Period, Daishodo, Pure Silver Vase with Katakiribori and Gold Inlay Landscape, Pine Tree, and Pavilion Design

Retailer: Daishodo (with engraved mark). Artist: Yoshiki Hojun (with engraved mark). Height approximately 18.5 cm, weight approximately 349 grams, material: pure silver. Daishodo was a prestigious precious metal merchant based in Tokyo from the Meiji to early Showa period, specializing in high-grade art silverware and court or gift art crafts. The gold inlay on this vase is highly likely to have been crafted by Yoshiki and Hojun, who were active at Daishodo, or by other master craftsmen and painters closely associated with them at the time. The complete engravings of Daishodo and pure silver, along with the identification of Yoshiki Hojun as a specific individual craftsman, enhance the evaluation of this vase as an art craft.
