Description
CLOISONNÉ VASE WITH IRIS BLOSSOMS IN THE STYLE OF NAMIKAWA SOSUKE

Colored enamel cloisonné on silver. Japan, Meiji period

A cloisonné vase with an ovoid shape and a short neck. The decorations are not cloisonné but wirefree musen-shippo, to a picturesque effect. Lily blossoms painted on a light greenish background with sharp leaves that appear like sword blades. There are many different kinds of this flower in Japan, including hanashobu, ayame and others. Stylistically, this would be Namikawa Sosuke.

Condition: Very good condition
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.
