Description
A Monumental Meiji Period Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Jardiniere.
This monumental Meiji Period Japanese cloisonne enamel jardiniere is a magnificent example of the exquisite craftsmanship and artistry that was prevalent in Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Meiji Period, which lasted from 1868 to 1912, was a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in Japan, as the country opened up to the rest of the world and began to embrace new ideas and techniques.
This extremely large jardiniere is typically used for holding plants or flowers. It is made of cloisonne enamel, which is a technique that involves creating intricate patterns and designs on a metal surface using thin wires to create cells or compartments, which are then filled with enamel.
The jardiniere is decorated with a variety of motifs, including flowers, birds, phoenix, and geometric patterns, all rendered in exquisite detail and vibrant colors. The intricate designs and intricate details of the jardiniere are a testament to the skill and patience of the Japanese artisans who created it.
Today, Meiji Period cloisonne enamel pieces such as this jardiniere are highly prized by collectors and art enthusiasts around the world, both for their beauty and their historical significance. They serve as a reminder of Japan's rich artistic heritage, and of the country's ability to combine traditional techniques with modern innovation to create works of enduring beauty and value.
