Pair Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Dishes. Late Edo Period. Circa 1860.
 
Superbly and finely decorated early Japanese cloisonne pieces (x2 and near matching). Central decoration with fierce dragon chasing / guarding a pearl within the clouds (of the heavens). Surrounded by elaborate brocades, stylised waves, mosaic crosshatching and grasses. High-quality cloisonné with tight brass wire work and multi- coloured enamels. Body is decorated with patterns of Karakusa flowers and geometrical patterns. The dark green enamel is unique to this era and came about through a botched attempt at recreating the turquoise blue of Ming Dynasty cloisonné. Substantial use of wires, both decorative and functional in anchoring the enamel in early Japanese cloisonne work. Attributed to Kaji Tsunekichi (1803–83) with fine wire work and enamelling technique of the period.
