A Fine Japanese Cloisonné Enamel Vase with Irises. Meiji period
Located in London, GB
A Fine Japanese Cloisonné Enamel Vase with Irises. Meiji period Attributed to a Nagoya workshop, bearing the ‘three peaches’ mark Meiji period. A finely worked Japanese cloisonné enamel vase of elegant baluster form, with a flared mouth and gilt metal mounts. The pale turquoise ground is decorated in the yūsen (wired) cloisonné technique with a vibrant and naturalistic arrangement of flowering irises, bluebells, and other seasonal flora. The composition includes richly shaded purple and cream iris blossoms rising among finely tapering green leaves and delicate undergrowth, capturing the naturalistic sensibility associated with the Meiji era. Executed with exceptional precision, the enamel work demonstrates advanced shading techniques and subtle colour gradations, particularly in the floral petals. The fine silver wires, precise outlining, and transparent layering of enamels suggest a skilled hand from the Nagoya school. The underside is finished in gilt metal and bears the distinctive “three peaches” mark, a stylised emblem associated with a high-quality but anonymous Nagoya workshop active in the early 20th century. This mark is found on other refined vases sometimes compared in style to the work of Hayashi Kodenji or Kumeno Teitarō...

Antique PAIR of Chinese Bronze Foo Dogs with Good Detail and colour, early 20thC
Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
These are a very good pair of antique Ming style Chinese foo or lion dog sculptures, sometimes called temple lions, made of bronze, with good detail, which we date to the late Qing or early Republic period of the 20th Century, Circa 1920. These pieces are well cast with very good detail, showing wear and a good natural patination to the high points as expected from use and polishing over a long period, the lustrous copper bronze metal below. The places on the castings where one would not normally polish ( eg. the underside, the back and neck area) are fairly rough to the touch in keeping with their age These are a substantial pair of bronzes, weighing over 900gm unpacked These lovely pair of antique Chinese foo dogs...
