Lot #77: Japanese Ginbari Cloisonné Enamel Vase (1940's to 1950's)

Japanese Ginbari Cloisonné Enamel Vase (1940's to 1950's) • Cloisonné is a technique where metal wires are used to create compartments (cloisons) on a metal base, which are then filled with coloured enamel. • Ginbari is a specific type of cloisonné where transparent enamel is applied over a silver foil, creating a shimmering effect. • This vase features bamboo images underneath the "pigeon blood" red enamel background with a design of pink and white flowers and green leaves. • The vase is made with a copper core, which is then coated with a silver layer that creates a stippled, foil-like background visible through clear enamel. • While the base is copper, the wires used to create the cloisonné patterns are typically made of silver or gold. . "JAPAN SATO CLOISONNE" vases were made primarily in the 20th century, particularly during the Showa period (roughly 1926-1989). • This is a post WW2 vintage piece from the 1940's to 1950's. • In excellent condition, no breaks, cracks, or chips.
