This exquisitely intricate, Japanese Cloisonné enamel piece is dated to c.1900 from the Meiji era (1868-1912) by Takahara Komajiro 高原駒次郎 of Kyoto.

Currently held on consignment at Andrews Oakville

Takahara is referenced as the most well-known and consistent maker of Kyoto-Jippo (tr. 'Cloisonné') wares, founding a workshop in 1894. The Cloisonné technique is revered for hand-applying thin wire or metal and different coloured enamels. The technique has been elevated to astounding heights in this piece when you consider the detailed wired sections are as thin as 1mm in width.

Also present are Takahara's signature design characteristics despite being unsigned; most notably the floral patterns and the 'Takara-mono' (tr. 'treasured items') featured in the roundels. Further indications of Takahara's style can be seen in the green overlapping scales and band of dotted red circlets brocading the foot and rim of the vase. From delicate sprigs of Sakura Cherry Blossom to Moutan Peonies and Wisteria, the Cloisonné flourishes with elements of jewel-coloured enamel in a joyful celebration of flora in bloom.

The exceptional skill in delicately applying the cloisonne in such a diminutive size is a true wonder and the condition of the enamel décor makes this piece a rare find. Not only did Takahara's Cloisonné skill contend with creating the enamel art in minute detail, but it was also applied to the rise and fall of each curve for the 6 lobes. This fantastic work of art makes a superbly decorative and highly collectable art feature.

CONDITION
Very Good. There is mild surface bruising with traces of enamel loss, minor impressions to the rim and base, as well as some natural enamel pitting that is commensurable with age, please see the photos as part of the condition report.

This exquisitely intricate Totai Shippo piece is dated to c.1880 from the Japanese Meiji era (1868-1912 ).

Totai Shippo is the technique of applying Cloisonné enamel to ceramic believed to have been discovered by Sukamoto Kaisuke (b.1828 - d.1887) some time around 1868. Traditional Cloisonné of using thin wire or metal to contain different coloured enamels applied to a metal vessel itself is already a revered technique. Totai Shippo elevates the technique to another level when you consider the detailed wired sections of this piece is as small as 1-2mm in width.

This particular piece bears two 'faces', a panel on each side that displays the detailed design of butterflies, Chrysanthemums and Anemones in tones of Dusted Powder and Cobalt Blue, Oxblood Red and Apple Green. Encircling the panels are features of Sakura buds and blossom interwoven with the Teal patterned background. 

This excellent work of art makes for a superbly decorative and highly collectable art feature.

CONDITION
Very Good. There is age-related wear to the enamel and crazing on the non-enamelled sections that is commensurable with the age of the piece, please see photos as they form part of the condition report.

This exquisitely intricate Cloisonné enamel piece is dated to c.1900 from the Japanese Meiji era (1868-1912 ) Takahara Komajiro 高原駒次郎 of Kyoto.

Takahara is referenced as the most well-known and consistent maker of Kyoto-Jippo (tr. 'Cloisonné') wares, founding a workshop in 1894. The Cloisonné technique is revered for using thin wire or metal to contain different coloured enamels. The technique in this piece is elevated to astounding heights when you consider the detailed wired sections of this piece is as small as 1-2mm in width.

This particular piece bears Takahara's design characteristics despite being unsigned; notably within the floral patterns and colour palette of the Red and White Chrysanthemum, Wisteria and Moutan Peonies. Takahara's traits also appear in the exceptionally fine wire gilding and the overlapping green scales edged in the band of dotted red circlets brocading the foot of the vase.

The 4-paneled, gently geometrically square form of this piece and its size makes this piece a particularly rare find. Not only did the Cloisonné skill have to contend with creating the enamel art in minute detail, but it was also applied to a curving form. This excellent work of art makes for a superbly decorative and highly collectable art feature.

CONDITION
Good. There is one area of depression on the Wisteria panel that measures c. 4 x 1.5 cm and has resulted in some minor enamel loss, however, this damage does not greatly affect the presentation. Beyond this, there is natural wear to the enamel of the vase that is commensurable with the age of the piece, please see photos as part of the condition report.

MEASUREMENTS
Height: c. 10.8" / 27.5 cm by c. 4.7" / 12 cm width (across widest point). Base diameter: c. 2" /  5.1 cm. Rim diameter: c. 2.3" / 5.8 cm. Unpackaged weight: c. 0.4 kg / 445 g

NOTES
Vase will be securely packaged and shipping will be insured. Shipping will be combined for multiple items.



A BIT OF HISTORY
Japanese Cloisonne enamelware is a technique introduced to Japan around the Tokugawa period during the 16th century.

Cloisonne or 'Cloisonné' are metalwork objects with decoration that is applied by creating separating sections using wire or thin metal. The sections are filled with different coloured enamels to create a visual image or pattern and the whole piece be fired multiple times to realise the colours.
