Japanese Bronze and Cloisonné Dish

About the Item

A bronze and cloisonné enamel round plate designed in Japan at the end of the 19th century, during the 'Meiji' era, which can be translated as 'enlightened government'. This historical period in Japan was marked by the rule of Emperor Mutsuhito and the change of his country from a feudal system to a policy of industrialization and modernization. This plate is made of bronze and cloisonné enamel, a goldsmithing technique originally applied to jewellery design. The polychrome decorations depict pairs of cranes on a blue background with water lilies and multicoloured flowers. The scenes are bordered by friezes with red and blue flower motifs. The lower parts of these plates are embellished with a succession of scrolling floral fillets. Plates with precise decorations and cheerful colours naturally attract the eye.
