All auctions / Ancient Art / Abstract vase - Cloisonne - Japan - Taishō period (1912-1926)
Height: 21.5 cm. Weight: 1128 gr. Condition: very good (no chips, no cracks or restorations) ----- HISTORICAL CONTEXT: ----- This exquisite Japanese cloisonné vase showcases the refined Meiji or Taisho-era craftsmanship. Cloisonné, a decorative metalwork technique, flourished in Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The deep purple enamel base highlights the intricate design of cranes, a revered symbol of longevity and prosperity in Japanese culture. The silver trim enhances its elegance, making it a prized collector’s item. ----- WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL? ----- The hand-painted cranes appear ethereal, framed by a subtle gradient of warm hues. This effect requires layering enamel, then firing at precise temperatures. The reflective silver accents add contrast, elevating the vase’s aesthetic appeal. The fine detailing and smooth enamel finish reveal the exceptional skill of Japanese artisans. Cloisonné pieces like this were sought after in both Western and Eastern markets, reflecting Japan’s artistic legacy.
