About the Item

Japanese cloisonné enamels are known as shippo-yaki and the mid-19th century saw the production of very high quality wares in the early centers Nagoya. One of the most renowned workshops was the Ando Cloisonné Company, founded by Ando Jubei (1876-1953). The cloisonné work from the workshop was considered the finest during the Meiji Period (1868-1912). This cloisonné covered box is of a very intriguing color, form and design, likely made to use as a tea caddy during Chado ceremony. The surface is of a brilliant and unusual aubergine color. It is sparsely but superbly decorated with a cloud-like abstract pattern by using a network of small individual wire cells filled with multicolored enamels. To create the subtle palette of colors that appears optically drifting, misty, and translucent, great care was taken to control and balance the placement and the application of the wired cells and enamels. The result is a very poetic piece of art work that invites a visual meditation. The jar was fitted with sterling silver lips and foot ring (stamped as pure silver in Kanji) and marked with Ando cipher logo. Based on the production style, we date the piece to 1910-1920s, the Taisho Period (1912-1926). Purportedly purchased from Christie's in 1980s.

Large Japanese Contemporary Ceramic Jar from Onda Yaki Kiln

By Onda Yaki

Located in Atlanta, GA

A large Japanese lidded ceramic jar from the kiln of Onda Yaki, circa 2010. The stoneware jar impresses the viewer with a robust bulbous form. Its black body is nearly unglazed but exuberantly splashed with strokes of slip glazes of white, yellow and blue. The visual effect is wonderful that it appears traditional and contemporary at the same time. The tri-color glaze calls to mind the San-Cai from Chinese Tang dynasty, yet the application is akin to abstract painting on canvas. Onda Yaki also spelled as Onta Yaki also spelled Onta, is a type of Japanese pottery produced in and around the village of Onta in Oita Prefecture in Kyushu Island. It was founded in 1705. Closely associated with Mingei folk art, Onda ware was inscribed by the national government in 1995 as an Intangible Cultural Property Background from Pucker Gallery where the jar was exibited and purchased. "In his search for true folk pottery, the Japanese philosopher Soetsu Yanagi...
