Japanese Meiji Period Enamelled Bronze Vase, 19th Century, Decorated with Religious Ritual Enamels
A product of Japanese craftsmanship during the Meiji era (1868-1912), this bronze vase is simply spectacular in terms of design and the quality of Japanese bronze work.
The Meiji era was marked by an imperial desire to showcase the prowess of Japanese craftsmanship to the Western world, opening Japan to the world and exporting its expertise and luxury goods, including this bronze vase decorated with polychrome cloisonné enamels in bas-relief depicting a religious ritual.
Beyond its amphora-like shape and rich decoration, this vase is a true piece of the history of the art trade between Emperor Meiji's Japan and Western Europe, including Napoleon III's France, which was fond of Asian objects and had a burgeoning taste for Japonisme.
Its generous size and high-quality craftsmanship make this vase both a decorative collector's item and a practical object; its ample shape allows it to hold a large bouquet of flowers.
