The most remarkable thing about this delicate vase is that it is in such impeccable condition for its age, indicating it has never been dropped or seriously knocked. It's thought that plique-a-jour was introduced to Japan by Ando Jubei (1876-1953) and Kawade Shibararo (1856-1921) after seeing examples in Paris, from which they further perfected the technique. The proper Japanese term is known as 'shotai-jippo', which means cloisonne without backing. It is understood the metal body of the piece is dissolved after firing and polishing which was notoriously complicated and labour intensive. To the bottom of the vase is a white metal base which is unmarked, and to the top of the piece a white metal rim, also unmarked for a maker. Whilst hard to translate in photography, the vase is wonderfully translucent, and if held in the sunlight it glistens. Aside from some minor surface scratches to the piece, it is in impeccable condition and could be the standout piece for your own cloisonne collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimensions - 18cm H x 10.5cm W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTotal weight of piece - 556 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Antique Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44536481579317,"sku":"GP1919","price":3450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/3042\/9254\/products\/Cloisonne-Plique-A-Jour-1.jpg?v=1677457807"},{"product_id":"arab-man-painting","title":"Large Orientalist Oil Painting","description":"\u003cp\u003eA large oil on canvas orientalist scene depicting a Turkish prince in a harem from the late 19th century.

The oil on copper miniature is housed in an ebonised timber frame and is cased with a piece of convex glass, which appears to be original to the piece. When removed from the frame, the rear of the copper revealed some writing which is unfortunately illegible, however authenticates the piece. To the rear of the frame itself is a period piece of paper pasted to the backing which reads 'Thomas', and also what appears to be a surname, however this is also unfortunately illegible. It's very likely the miniature is of a gentleman named Thomas, and from his clothing and appearance we can ascertain he was a man of means, perhaps even someone of nobility. His clothing suggests the picture was painted in the Regency period of the early 19th century, making this miniature around 200 years old. Whilst it is hard to be completely sure of its origin, it is likely that the miniature is English with the name Thomas pasted to the rear and based off the gentleman's clothes.
