The Chinese were very good craftsmen, but the Japanese were artists. There isn't the care in the design or crafting of that piece. The design is rigid and mechanical with conventional elements like the cloud cloisons. Both the Chinese and Japanese used the same elements in their designs, it is how they used them. Late Meiji was the 'Golden Age' - roughly 1880 to 1920 - of cloisonne in Japan. That was the time of the Totai (cloisonne on porcelain), that was the high time of wireless cloisonne (cloisonne that looked like a watercolor or painting), goldstone and moriage, cloisonne over foil (pigeon blood), bodyless cloisonne (where the enamel is left after the metal body is pulled). Coben & Ferster put our a great book on it. The pictured piece is quite likely made for export/western consumption.
