This cloisonné vase from around 1900, created by Japanese artist Kôno, exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship of the art form. The deep purple enamel ground showcases a detailed depiction of cranes perched on a pine branch, rendered in silver and gold. This scene is enriched by the use of inlaid mother-of-pearl, further highlighting the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The vase's intricate design and rich colors make it a captivating example of traditional Japanese artistry.
Comments
These two vases are decorated with naturalistically represented cranes and pine trees on a deep-blue ground. Both pine trees and cranes symbolise long life. The detailed rendering and sophisticated colour nuances illustrate the technical progress undergone by the cloisonné enamel process since the opening of Japan in 1854. Like Tokyo and Nagoya, Yokohama was a centre for the export of cloisonné enamel wares.
