In the reference book, Japanese Cloisonne Enamels - A Private Collectors Notes and Reference Guide, there are several works that were extremely difficult to find or took an enormous amount of time to acquire. This is one of the rarest and most difficult examples to find. According to Coben and Ferster, Examples of glass cloisonne are only rarely seen today. Source: Coben, Lawrence, and Ferster, Dorothy, Japanese Cloisonne - History, Technique, and Appreciation, Vermont and Tokyo: Charles E. Here is a vase with ovoid body and short neck.

The cobalt or dark blue glass body is decorated with a profusion of golden yellow flowers worked with blue and red enameled highlights. The background is touched with splashes of gold enamel throughout. The base finished with a plain border and the bottom base worked with a polished pontil. Acquired from a dealer in Japan whom we developed a long partnership decades ago while searching for an example of an enameled glass vase.

This exact box is pictured on page 14 in Chapter 3, Garasu-Jippo; enameled glass, in the reference book, Japanese Cloisonne Enamels - A Private Collectors Notes and Reference Guide by Gary Yoshino.
