About the Item
A large pair of Meiji Period Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Double Dragon Vases, 19th century.
Japanese cloisonne enamel dragon vases are highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts around the world. These vases were made during the Meiji era, which lasted from 1868 to 1912, and were produced using a technique called cloisonne enamel.
Cloisonne enamel involves creating compartments or cells, typically using metal wires, on a metal object and then filling the cells with colored enamel paste. The object is then fired in a kiln to fuse the enamel and create a smooth, glossy surface.
The dragon is a symbol of power and strength in Japanese culture, and it is often depicted in art and mythology. These vases feature intricate designs and vibrant colors, with the double dragons on each vase depicted in various poses and settings.

- Large Pair of Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Lanterns Attributed to Kaji TsunekichiLocated in New York, NYA Large Pair of Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Lanterns Attributed to Kaji Tsunekichi, Edo Period, 19th century Japanese cloisonne lanterns were made during the Meiji period, from the late 19th to early 20th century, and were often used as decorative lighting fixtures in temples and shrines. Kaji Tsunekichi (1866-1916) was a Japanese cloisonné artist who was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born in Tokyo and learned the art of cloisonné from his father, Kaji Sataro, who was also a cloisonné artist. He was renowned for his mastery of the shippo-yaki technique, which involves creating intricate designs with thin wires on a metal base before filling in the spaces with enamel. Tsunekichi was known for his exceptional technical skills and his ability to create intricate designs with vibrant colors. His works often featured nature motifs, such as flowers, birds, and fish, which were rendered in a highly detailed and naturalistic style. He also experimented with new techniques, such as plique-à-jour, a type of cloisonné that creates a stained-glass effect. Tsunekichi's works were highly prized during his lifetime and continue to be sought after by collectors today. He won numerous awards for his cloisonné creations, including a Gold Medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. His works are characterized by their fine wirework, precise enamel application, and attention to detail. Some of Tsunekichi's most famous works include a pair of large cloisonné vases...Category
