Japanese Enameled Bronze Vase, Meiji Period, 19th Century, Decorated With Religious Ritual Enamels
Japanese enameled bronze vase 19th Meiji period with decoration of religious ritual enamels
From the Japanese craftsmanship of the Meiji era (1868-1912), this bronze vase is simply spectacular in terms of design and quality of Japanese bronze crafts.
The Meiji era stands out for an imperial desire to demonstrate to the entire world the prowess of Japanese craftsmanship in the Western world, by opening up to the whole world and exporting their know-how and luxurious objects, including this bronze vase decorated with religious ritual in polychrome cloisonné enamels in bas-relief.
Beyond its appearance in the shape of an amphora and its rich decoration, this vase is a real piece of the history of the art trade between the Japan of the Emperor Meiji and Western Europe including the France of Napoleon III, amateur of objects from Asia, and a budding taste for Japonism.
Its consequent size and the quality of work make this vase both a collector’s item with decorative purposes as well as a utilitarian object, its generous shape allows it to accommodate a large bouquet of flowers.
