Hello,
The shape and style of decorations are telling me: Japanese, 19/20th C.
Height: 34cm
Would you agree?

Hi,
May I ask question, please? In Adrian's other thread, cloisonné panels were mentioned. Are there similar panels on here? Is that a join that I can see in picture 5?
I assumed (rightly or wrongly) that this was cloisonné on porcelain but wasn't sure how that was achieved.
Julia
Julia,
Cloisonne is normally very thin wires filled with enamels done on a metal (usually copper) vase. I assume that this is the case with this vase, whereas Adrian's other vase was an exposed bronze or copper base with added separate panels of cloisonne.

Julia
Hi Julia,
After a closer inspection of both vases the verdict is as follows: both are based on bronze with solid body. The one from this thread is showing exactly what George has explained - thank you very much for that, George - a section of the body is designated for the cloisonne part which makes it a bit thicker comparing to area that was not covered with enamel - in this case that would be all those black parts in the lower half of the vase. The difference in the thickness is something around 1-1.5mm of enamel.
The other vase I have posted today is actually almost identical in terms of used materials. The only difference is that this one had a patterned mold to add those geometrical decorations during casting - at this stage the maker prepared a bit of shallow space for the enamel partitions, therefore in this case the surface is smooth without any visual effects of additional panels added on the regular body.
Hope that helps, please accept my apologies for erratic explanations, I am struggling with expressing the simplest though as I have some nasty cold with a fever.
Kind regards,
Adrian

Adrian,
This is Japanese ca. 1900. The give away for me is the typical pattern of the spear like blue and black pointed panels from the waist going down toward the base common on Japanese cloisonné of this period. You have some nice items there.
George
Thank you so much for your kind words. Recently I have visited few markets and here is what I have acquired in last couple of days:
Nothing spectacular, however for less then 300 for all of that I would say that was a good shopping run for me. There was one moment of real thrill, when I spotted a pair of 19th C copies of Kangxi famille verte vases, in mint condition and with stunning patterns, they were really beautiful, even for the latter copies quite rare, but the seller asked a proper price, unreachable for me this time...
Japanese tea caddy is very nice, in good shape, not very old, early 20th C but with some nice decorations. Cloisonne bowl is really charming, same as 18th C export plate, but my favourite is that small pith painting - please take a look at the picture, the figures are painted with good attention to detail but the dog was the main reason I bought it 🙂
All the best,
Adrian

This vase is quite unusual , with the black panels . I agree it's probably early C19th Japanese. I wonder whether the black sections have been re-enamelled at some point?

Thanks for the replies. I was puzzled by the line I thought I could see in picture 5 but then read the other thread and thought I had misunderstood the construction.
Like Birgit, I also would have bought the painting. Is it a Shi Shi?
Hi Julia,
Not sure if that is a Shi Shi. I have just browsed some dogs breeds typical for China and the only one similar to this fella would be Lhasa Apso, however I might be completely wrong. Hard to say. I must admit that it look like... one actor I forgot the name now 🙂
Also the figure of a man is very intriguing - not sure what is he carrying on his back? Do you have any clues what that could be?
I absolutely love the way a lady is painted. Very gentle, subtle beauty was captured here.
All the best,
Adrian

The man carries a stack of books. The wrong perspective painting seems to indicate a pre 1930s date.
The dog might be a foo lion, they often look like friendly dogs on later items.
Dear Birgit,
Many thanks for your comment - a stack of books! how fascinating is that! The whole scene seems more clear now.
All the best,
Adrian

Dear Adrian,
Lovely painting the expression on the face of the creature suggest someone said or did something a little improper.
A very nice find.

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
