Box - A lovely cloisonné kōgō box 香合

A cloisonné kōgō box, covered in polychrome enamels and aventurine, decorated with flowers and a phoenix, a symbol of rebirth and immortality. The decoration is defined by fine silver wires outlining the motifs. The presence of aventurine, with its characteristic sparkling inclusions, enhances the luminous quality of the surface. Japanese cloisonné is one of the most refined forms of decorative art. Originally adopted from China, the technique was perfected by Japanese artisans during the Meiji period. The technique involves the use of vibrant polychrome enamels that create a metallic, glossy effect. ---The box is in good condition. Some cracks are visible under the base and inside the box, consistent with age and use. Please refer to the pictures for further details. The item will be carefully packed and shipped via DHL or FedEx, accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy.
