Rare Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Lidded Bowl. Edo Period. Circa 1860.

19th century
Description

Spectacular and rare Japanese Cloisonne Lidded Bowl, made in Nagoya circa 1860 - late Edo period. Attributed to Kaji Tsunekichi * (1803–83) who was responsible for the renaissance of Japanese cloisonne.

Extremely high-quality cloisonné with brass wire and various coloured enamels. The enamel decoration 'minitiarised' and of similar scale to the finest of cloisonne-enamel 'ojime' detailed bead work.

Body is decorated mainly with patterns of Karakusa foliage and Kiku flowers. Circular-shaped panels surrounding the lid and bowl, filled with traditional Japanese geometrical patterns of: Kojitsunagi, Shippo, Asanoha. Foot and pedestal fully decorated with cloud motif. This is a very rare item of finest detail and museum quality. Superb.

Condition: Excellent (no dents or losses).

Dimensions (approx):

Height = 5.5cm

Diameter = 34cm

* In the 1830s, Kaji Tsunekichi of Nagoya obtained a piece of Cloisonné enamel and deconstructed it in order to examine how it had been made. He then reworked the piece to produce a small dish with wired enamel decoration. By the 1850s he had opened a workshop (Nagoya), taken on students and was appointed as the official maker of Cloisonné in the Owari Province.

FAQs

Japanese cloisonne enamel, known natively as Shippo-yaki, is a decorative art technique where metal wires are fixed to a metal substrate to create framed design compartments. These compartments are filled with coloured vitreous enamel pastes, fired in a kiln, and polished flush to create detailed patterns.

Traditional Edo period cloisonne vessels feature a cast or hammered copper or brass base. Thin brass, bronze, or silver wires (cloisons) form the pattern outlines, which are filled with mineral-pigmented glass enamel pastes.

Authentic mid-to-late 19th-century pieces often exhibit heavy brass or copper construction, darker or muted background enamels, slight surface irregularities from hand-polishing, and fine wirework forming geometric roundels or organic motifs.

A cloisonne bowl serves as an accent piece on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or library bookshelf. Placing it as a central decorative object allows the detailed enamel patterns and metal rim to complement both contemporary minimalist and eclectic interior schemes.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemical polishes, and water immersion, as moisture can compromise fine cracks or unsealed areas between the enamel and metal wires.
