All auctions / Ancient Art / Plate (2) - Bronze, Enamel - Pair of cloisonné, 25 cm
Pair of antique Japanese cloisonné enamel (shippo) plates, made during the Meiji period (1868-1912). Both plates are in excellent condition with minimal signs of age. Hangers in the back are included. They will be shipped with extra protection, insurance, and a tracking number for shipment. Cloisonné or shippoyaki involves attaching fine metal wires (usually copper or brass) to a bronze base to create compartments, which are then filled with enamel pastes of various colors before being fired and meticulously polished. Both pieces feature a central medallion on a reddish-brown background depicting a mythological phoenix (hō-ō) in flight. They have an elegant lobed and scalloped design, intricately decorated with lotus flower motifs and polychrome geometric patterns that alternate between shades of blue, green, black, and pink.
