• CLOISONNé ENAMEL CANE-Ca. 1900 -A
  CLOISONNé ENAMEL CANE-Ca. 1900 -A superior Shippo enamel handle fashioned in the stylized shape of a crozier pastoral staff with an integral, cylindrical and long stem entirely decorated with repeating, bright blooms on a royal blue background. A strong contrast is achieved by underlying the petals with silver foil and the most unusual use of transparent and crazed enamel. -Tentatively recognized as a depiction of the celebrated “Sakura” or ornamental cherry blossom, the enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, this handle stands apart of the classic Shippo production with its stylish shape as well as striking opalescent and translucent color combination and achieves the standards of a possibly singular masterpiece of Japanese enameling art. -It comes on a slender rosewood shaft with natural brown-red hues and a horn ferrule. -H. 7 ¾” x 2 ¾”, O.L. 38 ¼” -$800-$1,200 -Cloisonné enamel ware is a metal working technique where a multi-colored glassy glaze is baked onto a metal surface and is similar to works developed before the ancient Mesopotamia and Egyptian cultures. It is said to have traveled from Southeast Europe, to China via the Silk Road, and eventually to Japan. -Japanese cloisonné enamelware first became internationally recognized in 1867 at the Paris International exposition. It reached culmination during the last century, when splendid examples of refined and delicate enamels were produced.
