Japanese Cloisonne Medium Plate - Finest Decoration. Circa 1900
£2,000 $2,710 €2,356
Rare Japanese Cloisonne Medium Plate - Finest Decoration. Nagoya. Circa 1900.
Finest execution of cloisonne wiring techniques, with realistic depiction of Japanese life, nature and culture. The execution of minute detail is exquisite, with renditions of Japanese native birds, butterflies and mythical creatures. The wirework simulating their natural form, with a multitude of cloisonne enamel colours. Other objects such as the basket sitting on the table with the wire work simulating its weaving, and a most inconspicuous creature (green insect) hiding in foliage from the birds. Superb wirework and enamelling techniques.
Masterpiece: Most likely made by the Nagoya Cloisonné Company. Highly skilled artistry. Unsigned. In the style and craftsmanship of Namikawa Yasuyuki workshop (Nagoya).*
Condition: Excellent condition:
There are two distinct qualities or types expressed in Japanese art: one suggesting endless patience in the execution of minute detail, the other denoting a mo...mentary conception of some fleeting idea carried out with boldness and freedom of expression in form and line – profuse complexity and extreme simplicity… the work on Japanese cloisonné ware generally exhibits the quality suggestive of unwearying labour and patience.
Dimensions:
Diameter = 28 cm
Depth = 3 cm
*Hayashi Kodenji (1831–1915), a craftsman who became one of the most influential cloisonne makers of his time. Hayashi set up an independent cloisonne workshop in Nagoya in 1862 and, like his teacher, began to train other craftsmen. He remained at the forefront of cloisonné manufacturing in the Nagoya region throughout his career. In 1871 the Nagoya Cloisonné Company was established at Toshima, just outside Nagoya, by Muramatsu Hikoshichi and Tsukamoto Jine’mon, the elder brother of Tsukamoto Kaisuke.
The technological advances they made resulted in the company winning a first prize at the Vienna Exhibition of 1873. Many cloisonne-manufacturing companies sprang up in and around Toshima and the area rapidly became Japan’s main centre of cloisonné production and became known as Shippo-cho (Cloisonné town). It has been estimated that at their peak the cloisonné manufactories of Toshima were producing ‘no less than seventy percent of the total cloisonné enamels produced in Japan.
With the introduction of more advanced enamelling techniques from Europe, notably those introduced by Gottfried Wagener, the previous reliance on background wires to retain the enamels was removed and the way was open for the possibility of using larger areas of clear bright enamels. These innovations took time to perfect, and the use of decorative wires remained integral to the cloisonné enamels of artists such as Namikawa Yasuyuki (1845-1927).
