Description
A Pair of Japanese Gold Lacquer and Shibayama Vases
Meiji period (1868-1912), each with lobed bodies decorated in very fine raised gold lacquer with flowers, inset with two lobed gold-lacquer panels edged in silver, one depicting a vase with seasonal plants and flowers billowing over the top, the other with an elaborate hanging ikebana display, both executed in exquisite Shibayama technique, the silver mounted top rims and bases are embellished with formal floral motifs in jeweled colored enamel, they come together with carved wooden fitted stands.
Listed in 1927 appraisal for Mrs. Belle G. Clark.
8 3/8 in., with stand 9 1/2 in.
Vases of this complexity of decoration that included multiple mediums of gold lacquer, Shibayama, silver, and enamel, were often created by three or four artists combining their skills over many weeks. A very fine and beautiful example of Meiji period craftsmanship.
Estate of Mrs. Belle G. Clark, White Plains, NY, by descent.
