About the Item

A Japanese Meiji Period Cloisonné Enamel Tray Attributed to Namikawa Sösuke, Late 19th Century A refined rectangular cloisonné enamel tray with softly rounded corners and shallow raised sides. The central panel features a tranquil scene of two doves resting beneath a flowering branch and beside a stylized tree, rendered in delicate wirework and naturalistic enamel tones. The image is set against a subtly shaded ground transitioning from pale blue to celadon, enhancing the sense of depth and tranquility in the scene. The naturalistic modeling of the birds and foliage, along with the serene asymmetrical composition, reflects the painterly aesthetic associated with Namikawa Sösuke's Tokyo workshop. The interior is bordered by a band of scrolling floral motifs .The reverse is richly decorated with a large central peony medallion surrounded by swirling red tendrils and foliage on a blue enamel field. The exterior sides continue the decorative theme with a scale-pattern border in alternating green and mauve tones. Size: length 31.5cm. Condition: Generally good condition with no damage or repairs. Typical light surface scratches and wear, slightly more pronounced to the base. Though unsigned, the painterly quality, compositional refinement, and tonal sophistication suggest the influence of Namikawa Sösuke, one of the foremost cloisonne artists of the Meiji era, known for merging fine art sensibility with enamel craftsmanship.
