From our Japanese collection, we are delighted to introduce this Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Vase by Ando Jubei. The Cloisonne Enamel Vase is of petite squared tapered form with a waisted neck and rounded shoulders raised upon a circular foot. The Cloisonne Enamel composed on a dark blue ground with cicada lappet borders to the top and bottom rims, the body of the vase beautifully inlaid with silver wire of varying gauge with a central scene depicting large cherry blossom above two roosters stood upon a bamboo screens with Hanashobu (Iris flowers), Kosumosu (Cosmos flowers) and a flowing river. The vase is mounted to the top and bottom in silver and features the Ando Cloisonne Company mark to the centre of the base. The Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Vase dates to the late Meiji Period (1868-1912) and the early 20th century circa 1900.
Ando Jubei (1876–1956) was a renowned Japanese cloisonne artist from Nagoya, Aichi prefecture, Japan. Jubei was considered the Meiji periods most prolific creator of presentation cloisonne, that of which were commissioned by members of the Imperial family for gifts to foreign dignitaries. Jubei alongside another artist named Hayashi Kodenji dominated Nagoya’s enamelling industry in the late Meiji era. Jubei, Namikawa Yasuyuki, and Namikawa Sosuke are considered the three artists whose technical innovations brought in the “Golden Age for Japanese cloisonné” in the late 19th century. Jubei along with his brother in law Ando Juzaemon went on to form the Ando cloisonne company in the late 19th century lead by cloisonne artist Kawade Shibataro (1856–1921).
Ando Cloisonné Company (安藤七宝店) is a Japanese cloisonne making company located in Sakae, Nagoya, central Japan. Founded in the late 19th century by Ando Jubei (Jusaburo 1876-1953) and his brother in law Andō Juzaemon they made the cloisonne company a huge success. They recruited Kawade Shibataro (1856–1921) a renowned cloisonne artist in his own right to be the head of the Ando Company studio who further developed plique-à-jour technique. During the 30 years of the 20th century Ando company employed over 50 cloisonne artists and the company was given an Imperial Warrant of Appointment to the Japanese court.
Cloisonne is a technique of decorating metalwork objects with coloured material separated by wire often made from precious metals. In the first instance the decoration is formed by creating a stencil on the metal object by affixing wires to the surface which will be visible once the product is finished allowing the artisan to craft beautiful scenes such as blossoming flowers or mythical animals by filling in the spaces with various colours.
Enamel (vitreous enamel) also known as porcelain enamel, is a material made by fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 °C. The powder melts, flows, and then hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating. The word vitreous comes from the Latin vitreous, meaning “glassy”.
Meiji Period was an era of Japanese history that spanned from 1868 to 1912. It was the first half of the Empire of Japan, when the Japanese people began to build a paradigm of a modern, industrialised nation state and emergent great power, influenced by Western countries and aesthetics. As a result of radically different ideas, the changes to Japan were profound and it affected the social structure, politics, economy, military, and foreign relations across the board. The period corresponded to the reign of Emperor Meiji and was preceded by the Keio era and was succeeded by the Taisho era.
Cultural Art during the Meiji Period was of particular interest to the government and they overhauled the art export market which in turn promoted Japanese arts via various world’s fairs, beginning in Vienna at the world fair in 1873. The government heavily funded the fairs and took an active role organising how Japan’s culture was presented to the world including creating a semi-public company named Kiritsu Kosho Kaisha (First Industrial Manufacturing Company). The Kiritsu Kosho Kaisha was used to promote and commercialise exports of Japanese art and established the Hakurankai Jimukyoku (Exhibition Bureau) to maintain quality standards. For the 1876 Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia, the Japanese government created a Centennial Office and sent a special envoy to secure space for the 30,000 items that would be displayed. The Imperial Household also took an active interest in arts and crafts, commissioning works by select artists to be given as gifts for foreign dignitaries further emphasising the high quality and importance of Japanese art. Just before the end of the 19th century in 1890, the Teishitsu Gigeiin (Artist to the Imperial Household) system was created to recognise distinguished artists. These artists were selected for their exceptionally high quality wares and talent in their own industry. Over a period of 54 years Seventy artists were appointed, amongst these were ceramicist Makuzu Kozan and cloisonné enamel artist Namikawa Yasuyuki.
