Pair of Large Chinese Cloisonné Plique-à-Jour Bowls
About the Item
A large pair of Chinese cloisonné enamel bowl made with the technique of plique-à-jour (means "letting in daylight" in French), a challenging method similar to small scale stained windows originally developed in the Byzantine Empire in 6th century AD. Using no backing and translucent enamel, it creates jewel-like piece.
This pair of bowl is of identical copper wire construction with a matching design. The main colors slightly differ with one in green the other blue. The copper based cloisonné cells feature large and small peony branches on a background of leave pattern. The miniature compartments "cells" were filled with enamels of different colors to precisely carry out the auspicious design while letting the light through. The design was also facilitated with many delicately pierced "cells" that further gives the pieces a very airy appearance.

- 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
