About the Item

Description Absolute top Quality vase with superb decoration of flowers. Base marked with flaming pearl: Gonda Hirosuki. With matching box. Reference: See similar items sold by this famous artist at Bonhams and Christie's Cloisonné is a way of enamelling an object, (typically made of copper) whereby fine wires are used to delineate the decorative areas (cloisons in French, hence cloisonné) into which enamel paste is applied before the object is fired and polished. The Japanese characters used for the word shippo (the Japanese term for enamelware) mean 'Seven Treasures'. which is a reference to the seven treasures mentioned in Buddhist texts. Although these treasures may vary, they generally included at least some of the following: gold, silver, emerald, coral, agate, lapis lazuli, giant clamshell, glass and pearl. The Japanese applied this expression to the rich colours found on Chinese enamel wares and later to those they made themselves. Condition Small missing parts/chips of enamel and crackle lines. Size 245 x 100mm H x D Period 19th century Meiji Periode (1867-1912).
