Product description
Large antique Japanese vase. Dating back to the Late Meiji period, 19th century.
Made of copper and brass with polychrome 'Cloisonne' enamel decorations.
A very ancient technique, that of Cloisonne, dating back to ancient Egypt, in which thin wires (usually copper) are soldered or glued to a support plate of the work to be built; subsequently, in the areas raised by the metal, enamel is poured, thus obtaining a sort of mosaic whose tiles are exactly circumscribed by the metal strips.
These ornaments were made with this technique, with peach blossoms on a turquoise background.
Truly excellent conditions despite the age. Possible presence of some imperfections.
