Description

This is a superb large Japanese Akasuke Ginbari cloisonné vase by Kemeno Teitaro (in Nagoya from 1863 to 1939.) The vase, of square tapering form is in excellent condition and bears the struck mark to the base. Ginbari is a unique Japanese cloisonne where textured silver foil is wrapped around the metal body (normally brass) and wire silver closons before the transparent enamel is applied. The term ‘Akasuke’ refers to a special pigeon blood coloured red. The design on this fine Akasuke Ginbari Vase is of beautiful birds flying amongst bamboo set against a wonderfully stippled and textured background. This vase is a perfect example with a sharp, crisp and clear colour to the deep red enamelling. This is one of two good Ginbari vases we currently have listed as well as an exceptional pair, (please see our other items.)
This is a fine example indeed and a good size measuring 25 cms high.
