About the Item

A spectacular large Japanese chakinseki cloisonné globular jar and cover, in he style of Namikawa Yasuyuki, Meiji period, circa 1900, Japan. The jar with a spherical body supported by three, comma-shaped feet formed as magatama. Magatama are sacred ceremonial stones, traditionally made out of precious jade, with a distinct comma shape. A round opening to the top of the jar fitted with a cover and surmounted with a knob handle. The jar exquisitely decorated with silver wire and a wide array of colored cloisonné enamels. The decoration divided into three bands. The top band with a chakinseki cloisonné ground of sparkling copper with phoenixes in flight between scrolls of flowers and vines. Chakinseki is a cloisonné technique in which the enamel ground is sprinkled with flakes of reflective materials. The name means "tea dust". The middle band of a black cloisonné ground with quatrefoil reserves of alternating dragons and phoenixes. The dragons portrayed against a light yellow ground, their bodies in various poses, writhing and coiled upon themselves. Each one grasping a goldstone flaming pearl within their claws. The phoenixes portrayed in flight against a very light pink ground, their wings spread wide, long tail feathers streaming out around them. The lower band formed as lapets adorned with odd and charming mythical lemur-like animals, with wide eyes, sharp claws, spotted or striped bodies, and long, bushy tails. The cover decorated with an intricate wire ground with scattered roundels of butterflies and stylized dragons against a chakinseki ground. The knob handle with a chakinseki ground and featuring a stylize phoenix in flight. The underside of the jar with beautiful scrolling wire work on a burgundy enamel ground, with three stylized white roses and a single larger red rose.
