A VERY FINE JAPANESE CLOISONNE. THEY SAY THAT THE CHINESE INVENTED THE TECHNIQUE OF HAND MAKING CLOISONNE, BUT WAS THE JAPANESE THAT PERFECTED IT! THAT BEING SAID, THIS VASE IS THAT PERFECT DEFINITION. THIS VASE HAS THE MOST INTRICATE CLOISSONNE WIREWORK THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE BODY HAS A BLACK BACKGROUND THAT IS COVERED WITH TINY INTRICATE WIRE COILS.
THE FOREGROUND HAS WONDERFUL STYLIZED IRIS, WISTERIA, BEGONIAS, PEONIES, AFRICAN VIOLETS & BUTTERFLIES. ALL THIS, AND SMALL STYLIZED AND GEOMETRIC FLOWERS FLOATING ALL AROUND IN DAZZELING COLORS. AN EXQUISITE EXAMPLE OF EARLY JAPANESE CLOISONNE.
WAS IN MY MOTHERS ESTATE AND I ALWAYS REMEMBER HER SAYING THAT IT WAS A GIFT FROM HER CLOSE JAPANESE FRIEND. BEFORE I WAS BORN (& IT WAS ANTIQUE THEN). THIS LITTLE GEM STANDS OUT IN COLOR, TEXTURE AND DESIGN THAT IS FAR ABOVE MOST CLOISONNE PIECES.
PLESE SEE ALL MY PHOTOS. MEASURING IN AT 6 1/4 TALL, WITH A 3 GIRTH & IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE MAN HOURS IN CREATING THIS HAND MADE PIECE MUST HAVE BEEN STAGGERING! OR SOMETHING FABULOUS JUST FOR YOURSELF! I TRY TO HONESTLY DESCRIBE & REPRESENT MY ITEMS FOR SALE.
