Kakiemon Vase w/ Silver Collar

This is a rare porcelain vase with silver collar made by Meissen in the 20th century. It is a rare combo they made with teh porcelain bottom and silver top. I have only very rarely seen them and never one with a Kakiemon design to it. A stunning combination and look! The bottom has a superb Kakiemon style scene hand painted on it including a bird of paradise sitting on a branch with colorful blossoms and some leaves to it. The back side has a nice colorful floral design to it and each side has a little bug to it. It's a very elegant piece and not one you'd come across again anytime soon. The piece is in perfect condition. It is marked with the under glaze blue crossed swords mark (first choice) underneath as well as the usual impressed / incised marks and a painter's number as shown. The vase is 5.5 inches tall and 4.125 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
