Antique Japanese Meiji Era (late 1800's) Cloisonné Vase Phoenix & Dragon 12”
About the Item
Available from Shogun's Gallery in Portland, Oregon for over 40 years specializing in Asian Arts & Antiques.
This is a unique Japanese Meiji era (c. 1890) ornate Cloisonné vase. Made of copper, copper alloys and vitreous glass enamel.
This vase is 12" tall by 6" in diameter (30 x 15 cm). It weighs 2lbs 2oz. Having been carefully displayed for nearly five decades since acquired by a dedicated local collector, it remains in fine condition.
Japanese cloisonné is an exquisite art form that marries meticulous craftsmanship with vibrant aesthetics. This traditional technique reached a level of extreme mastery in the Meiji era and involves adorning a metal base, often copper or silver, with delicate wire partitions, creating intricate compartments known as "cloisons." These compartments are then meticulously filled with vivid enamel, resulting in a rich tapestry of colors that, after multiple firings and polishing, achieve a glossy, flawless finish. The process demands precision, skill and hundreds of hours, making each piece a testament to the artisan's expertise and dedication. With its captivating patterns, luminous colors, and often intricate inlays, Japanese cloisonné serves as a luxurious and culturally rich addition to any space, seamlessly blending tradition with timeless elegance.
