This exquisite piece is crafted with great care and beauty. It features a stunning dragon scene and is marked at the base.
Cloisonné, the enameling technique employed in this piece, involves using fine wires to outline decorative areas (referred to as "cloisons" in French). Enamel paste is then applied within these delineated sections before the object undergoes firing and polishing.
The Japanese term for enamelware, "shippo," translates to 'Seven Treasures' in reference to the treasures mentioned in Buddhist texts. While the specific treasures may vary, they typically include elements like gold, silver, emerald, coral, agate, lapis lazuli, giant clamshell, glass, and pearl. This term was applied to describe the rich colors found on both Chinese enamel wares and those created in Japan.
In terms of condition, there are minimal signs of aging, such as missing enamel and some crackle lines in the base. The dimensions are approximately 14 x 2.2 inches (Diameter x Height).
This piece belongs to the Meiji Period (1867-1912).
