| 7 1/4" high Japanese treebark vase decorated with a bird and flower motif. Tree-bark is a form of "totai" (cloisonne on porcelain). Using lacquer to cover the porcelain jar to resemble treebark, the wires are set into the lacquer to form the designs and the cells are filled with lacquer and polished. This lacquer is not fired. 1910-1925. The vase stands slightly unevenly. There are two old hairline cracks in the interior neck (see enlargements 8 & 9) and there is a flaw in the lacquer to the left of the flying bird (see enlargement 7). | ||||||||||||
