| Circa 1850-1870 Japanese Meiji Period Mixed-Metal Vase measuring 17 1/2" in height. The texture of the vase is just like the trunk of a tree and this is actually called the tree bark pattern and design. This is Japanese Lacquer on top of Satsuma. The cloisonne along with the mixed metals have been applied to is probably pottery, earthenware or porcelain. Cloisonne of flowers butterflies,birds are inlaid into the lacquering. It appears to be a hammered black rippled body embossed with a central tree bearing black and orange flowers maybe mums with a black and orange bird (oriole) nestled in between. Just a Beauty. Recently at Skinner's in Boston they had a similar mixed metal vase which was handsome with designs of autumn flowers in silver,gold and copper with borders of butterflies along the base and neck. This vase sold for $64,625.00 according to a article that was in The Antiques and the Arts issue of 5/29/2007. We have talked to several oriental experts and I have been told that this pattern is very rarely seen and not too many people are knowledgeable in regards to this piece. The minute I looked at it,I knew it was something that was quite unusual and a process that I had never seen.I have priced it at a price that I am told is very reasonable and should sell rapidly in today's market. | |||||||||||||||
