This beautiful vase is actually plique a jour, a form of cloisonne. Although the Japanese make these too I am pretty sure this one is Chinese, possibly early 2othC, because of it's style.
Have a look here for background on plique a jour:

If you search online in images you should find similar.
I'm very envious!
