Prompted by my friend here, #shareurpassion, I have finally got around to putting up these items.
I haven't deliberately set out to collect Japanese cloisonne, these just came along in random and lucky ways.
The iris vase is 22cm tall and although not labeled I believe from similar others it is by Ando. Fortunately it is pristine with no cracks or chips in the enamel.
The cherry blossom plate is also Ando, with sticker, and measures 24cm x 18cm. Like many cloisonne plates it has chips and cracks on the corners where it has been dropped.
The smaller plates are by two differing makers. The hibiscus(?) plate is Ando, and it's had a hard life. The other cherry blossom three are part of a set of five, by Tutanka, and they are in better condition.
The size of the small plates is the same between the two makers at 12cm x 10cm, although the back enamel on the Tutanka is more speckled than the Ando.
There is nothing hugely valuable here but all are lovely and fit in well.
Always loved cloisonne. I've had a few pieces and as you say they always have a nick or two. The vase is a beauty ! Nothing wrong with a little eye candy vs value :)
Outstanding Japanese cloisonne, these are all delightful in particular that awesome iris vase
Adore cloisone and champleve
Thanks Mike.
Being old and imperfect myself I have no issues with damaged items here. The beauty still exists.
Jenni the iris vase is more special. Wireless cloisonné like makes the motif so deep and lovely. I’m glad you liked it too.
Sylvia I own no champleve but would like a piece!
