Old or Antique Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Ginbari Vase with Floral Decoration

About the Item

A fine antique Japanese enamel vase. With wired cloisonne flowers against a red ginbari ground. The ginbari technique (similar to guilloche enamel) involves flooding transparent enamel over a patterned metal surface. This creates a shiny mirror like effect, along with clearly preserving the pattern of the underlying metal. The ginbari ground has bird and bamboo patterns. Simply a stunning Japanese vase! Date: 20th Century Overall Condition: It is in overall good, as-pictured, used estate condition. Condition Details: There is a small crack at the rim (approximately 4mm). There are two 1/2 in. scratches to the body, several other small scratches or flakes here and there, some fritting/fleabites and loss of silver finish to the rim/foot rim. Otherwise, there are some fine & light surface scratches and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age. Maker: Unknown Marks: Unmarked Measurements: Height: ca. 12 1/8 in. Diameter: ca. 6 3/4 in. Items purchased from this dealer must delight you. Purchases may be returned for any reason for a period of 7 days.

Japanese Antique Pottery Hanging Vase/Edo/1800s/Boat-Shaped Vase
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is a black-glazed boat-shaped pottery made in the late Edo period of Japan. This will be a hanging vase. Pour water directly into this and decorate the flowers. Also, perhaps this is a pottery called Seto-yaki. Seto is an ancient kiln located in Aichi Prefecture. Various shapes and colors were produced there, and in the late Edo period, dark glazed pottery was also produced. When a dark brown glaze is applied, the areas with thick glaze look black, and the areas with thin glaze look brown. I put water directly into this and left it for a day, but there was no water leakage. I would say it is in very good condition. Although it is a small item, it has a very strong presence. It has a glossy and elegant appearance. There are many types of Seto pottery...
