About the Item

This plique-a-jour cloisonne vase is an exceptional example of Japanese craftsmanship from the tail end of the Meiji period (1868-1912). The most remarkable thing about this delicate vase is that it is in such impeccable condition for its age, indicating it has never been dropped or seriously knocked. It's thought that plique-a-jour was introduced to Japan by Ando Jubei (1876-1953) and Kawade Shibararo (1856-1921) after seeing examples in Paris, from which they further perfected the technique. The proper Japanese term is known as 'shotai-jippo', which means cloisonne without backing. It is understood the metal body of the piece is dissolved after firing and polishing which was notoriously complicated and labour intensive. To the bottom of the vase is a white metal base which is unmarked, and to the top of the piece a white metal rim, also unmarked for a maker. Whilst hard to translate in photography, the vase is wonderfully translucent, and if held in the sunlight it glistens. Aside from some minor surface scratches to the piece, it is in impeccable condition and could be the standout piece for your own cloisonne collection.
