A Cloisonné Enamel Vase With Bird On A Turquoise Ground
A Japanese cloisonné enamel (shippo) vase of baluster form with a long flared neck, distinguished by a luminous pale turquoise ground.
The decoration depicts a water bird among tall plants and branches laden with red-orange berries, elegantly extending across the body and neck of the vase. The motifs are outlined with fine metal wires and rendered in enamels with delicate gradations of colour, creating a refined contrast against the luminous turquoise ground.
Particular attention is given to the bird’s plumage, finely rendered in shades of grey, white and gold, attesting to the high quality of the workmanship.
Marked on the underside of the base.
