Description
Colored enamel cloisonné on silver. Japan, Meiji period

Finely painted decorations with blossoms and vines in diverse colors and shapes. Deep, dark blue enamel with very fine decorations with spirals. Silver mark KYO-TO 京 都 NAMI-KAWA 並 河 on the base.
Namikawa Yasuyuki (1845-1927) was one of the most famous and brilliant Japanese cloisonné artists. 1886 he was awarded the honorary title of ‘Teishitsu Gigeiin’ (artist-craftsman to the imperial household).
Updated Condition: Good condition; tiny and short hairline with discoloration of enamel in one of the green fields (see images provided).
Provenance: From an Austrian private collection
This fine selection of Japanese cloisonné pieces (nos. 16-33) comes from an art dealer’s collection who acquired the pieces over 15 years, most of them from Austrian flea markets, fairs and estates. He developed a passion and deep understanding for the incredibly cumbersome technique of cloisonné which is reflected in the selection, featuring the great names of Namikawa Yasuyuki and Namikawa Sosuke.
