Huge Meiji Japanese Cloisonné Black Ground Bird & Blossom Tall Table Lamp 40"
This stunning monumental Meiji-period (1868–1912) Japanese cloisonné enamel vase has been professionally converted into a dramatic very tall table lamp. The elegant baluster form features a rich, glossy black enamel ground that beautifully showcases the classic kachōga (bird-and-flower) motif.
Intricate silver or copper wire cloisons outline delicate white and pink prunus (cherry/plum) blossoms on graceful gray branches, a finely detailed perched pheasant/quail-like bird with realistic featherwork, a smaller flying bird overhead, and a vibrant lower band of wildflowers, daisies, and chrysanthemums in purples, yellows, and greens. The high-polish black enamel and fine wirework are hallmarks of high-quality Meiji export cloisonné.
Dimensions: 40 1/2 inches tall to the top of the finial what the photos show (adjustable 39-43 INCHES)× 10 inches wide at the widest point of the body. The actual vase is 27 inches . A substantial, statement-making size perfect as an accent lamp or standalone decorative piece.
Lamp Hardware: Period brass pull-chain socket with dual switches, black stem, and matching finial. Includes original cord.
Condition: Good condition there is visible chips under the top lip of lamp with enamel loss, and a crack not noticeable unless pointed out. The glossy finish remains lustrous and mirror-like besides the repair under the lip. The lamp does came with a felt bottom.
A beautiful example of Japanese shippō artistry from the Golden Age of cloisonné, this lamp brings timeless elegance and Chinoiserie/Japonisme charm to traditional, eclectic, Asian-inspired, or Hollywood Regency interiors. It would make a striking piece or serve as a focal point in a living room, entryway, or library.
Provenance: Private collection. Meiji-era Japanese craftsmanship. Truly a stunning piece.
Perfect for collectors of Asian decorative arts or anyone seeking a functional work of art.
