Description
Rather unusual early Showa period (1910s) Japanese mingei (Arts and Crafts) copper box with chased and enameled decoration of a puff of cloud and a white racing pigeon with feather covered legs. Wonderful combination of uchidashi (hammered-out) and moriage (piled-up) techniques: metal was raised from the opposite side and raised surface was subsequently thickly enameled and fired. Crisp work with thickly laid enamel, beautiful textured surface, perfectly riveted corners, excellent patina, in great condition. Lined with leather on the inside (some wear). The piece is definitely by the Ando workshop, signed TOSHI by the artist on the bottom, and it is unusual to see signed Ando pieces. Size: 5 1/8 x 4 x 1 3/8 inches.
