Product description
Japanese Hichozan Shinpo baluster vase Arita porcelain & bronze Late Edo period (1830-1850)
Discover a vase that witnessed the crossroads of two worlds - that of the ancestral Japan of the late Edo period (1830-1850) and its Arita porcelain see pre Imari, and that of the West, the romantic Europe of the time, in its exponential quest to import Asian porcelain and Japonism.
Its baluster shape is magnified by a majestic decoration of kiln-blue lotus flowers on a background of red and gold scrolls, enhanced by a turquoise-blue neck and completed by a gilded bronze frame and draconic-looking handles, demonstrating a wealth of Nipponese decor and craftsmanship from the late Edo era (1830-1850), using motifs and decorations with Nippo-European influences, making Arita Japanese porcelain so beautiful.
This addition of Bronze may have been derived from European craftsmanship, as the Japanese excelled more in the art of porcelain. Once orders had been processed, these vases were shipped from the port of Nagazaki to the European ports of Holland or France, where the bronze could have been made to match the European demands of the time. The attribution to the porcelain of Hichozan Shinpo, a designer of refined porcelain for the West, is demonstrated by the signature under the porcelain base of the vase, hidden by its bronze support.
Lovers of mid-19th century Japanese porcelain or Asian art, don't wait any longer, and treat yourself to this rare, richly decorated vase in excellent overall condition.
