Large Pair of Meiji Period Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Vases Attributed to Goto
About the Item
A large pair of Meiji Period Japanese cloisonne enamel vases attributed to Goto Seizaburo, 19th century.
These vases were made during the Meiji period (1868-1912) in Japan and are characterized by their blue enamel background with intricate designs of flowers, birds (including pigeons), butterflies and landscapes.
The use of blue enamel as a background creates a striking contrast with the colorful designs, making these vases particularly visually appealing which are appreciated for their beauty, craftsmanship, and cultural significance.
Goto Seizaburo (1852-1914) was a renowned Japanese cloisonne enamel artist who lived and worked during the Meiji period (1868-1912). He was born in Nagoya and started his career as an apprentice to a local cloisonne enamel artist. He later moved to Tokyo and began working for the Ando Cloisonne Company.
Goto Seizaburo was known for his exceptional skill and attention to detail in cloisonne enamel. He developed new techniques, including the use of transparent enamel, and created intricate designs that often featured flowers, birds, and other natural elements.
His works were highly sought after by collectors and were exhibited at international exhibitions, including the Paris Universal Exposition in 1900, where he won a Gold Medal. He also received numerous awards and honors in Japan for his contributions to the art of cloisonne enamel.
Today, Goto Seizaburo is considered one of the most important cloisonne enamel artists of the Meiji period, and his works continue to be highly valued and collected by art enthusiasts and collectors around the world.

A Large Pair of Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Lanterns Attributed to Kaji Tsunekichi, Edo Period, 19th century
Japanese cloisonne lanterns were made during the Meiji period, from the late 19th to early 20th century, and were often used as decorative lighting fixtures in temples and shrines.
Kaji Tsunekichi (1866-1916) was a Japanese cloisonné artist who was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born in Tokyo and learned the art of cloisonné from his father, Kaji Sataro, who was also a cloisonné artist. He was renowned for his mastery of the shippo-yaki technique, which involves creating intricate designs with thin wires on a metal base before filling in the spaces with enamel.
Tsunekichi was known for his exceptional technical skills and his ability to create intricate designs with vibrant colors. His works often featured nature motifs, such as flowers, birds, and fish, which were rendered in a highly detailed and naturalistic style. He also experimented with new techniques, such as plique-à-jour, a type of cloisonné that creates a stained-glass effect.
Tsunekichi's works were highly prized during his lifetime and continue to be sought after by collectors today. He won numerous awards for his cloisonné creations, including a Gold Medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. His works are characterized by their fine wirework, precise enamel application, and attention to detail.
