Vase - Enamel

A cloisonné vase in polychrome enamels and silver wires, decorated with a dense composition of irises in the classic colors ranging from purple to light blue and white, on a midnight-blue ground. The iris (菖蒲, shōbu) is a symbol of protection and purity, and is associated with strength and courage. 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 vase is in good condition. There is a chip on the side (picture n. 10). 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. 544
