| This is a very rare Cloisonne enamel Incense Burner. Probably the only one in existence. In fact there are only a handful of cloisonne vases done in this style that are in collections. Though unsigned, it is clearly the work of Hattori or Kawade, both being Meiji Era Imperial artists. It is done in the "Nagare-gusuri" or drip glaze style invented by Kawade Shibataro. Kawade is the one who we believe created this piece. The lustrous enamel is done in rainbow of colors with a predominance of ocean blue/green tones. The glaze is brilliant with almost a porcelain look to it. Worked into the the multi hued enamel ground, are realistic leaves and vines executed in Moriage enamel. These are outlined with sculpted silver wire edges. A bronze metal interior and silver ribbed kiku formed lid adorns this masterpiece. It a very heavy piece and measures 6 inches across by 4 1/2 inches tall. Condition is outstanding. | ||||||||||||||
