 -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  - | Japanese Boxwood Covered carved Crane box Edo Meiji
Item # 5619
Click HERE to inquire about this item
This is an important example of the finest in late Edo to early Meiji wood carving. The piece is a covered box carved in the shape of a nesting Japanese Crane. Incredible detail to the feathers and head. Fine old patina indicates a dating from 1840 to 1870. The box measures 6 and seven eighths inches long by 3 inches wide by 3 inches high. The interior has been accented with either a light wash of gold lacquer or gold paint. Of particular note is the interior base which has been skillfully carved to make it look as if it were made of strips of interwoven wood or bamboo. The box is signed on the base. The signature translates to Dosen Z ( made by Dosen). The very tip of the tail on the upper lid has had a chipped end which has been very finely restored, we owned the piece for several years and did not even notice the repair until taking the photos for this listing. For the Japanese, the crane or tsuru is considered a national treasure, appearing in art, literature, and folklore. The Japanese regard the crane as a symbol of good fortune and longevity because of its fabled life span of a thousand years.

 -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  - | Rare Japanese cloisonne Ginbari covered Cat box Meiji 
Item # 5620
Click HERE to inquire about this item
We have been collecting and handling Japanese cloisonne for many years and have NEVER seen a piece quite as unusual as this one. A thorough search of all the literature that we have on Japanese cloisonne does not reveal any other example of figurals done in cloissone. While birds and animals are plentiful in Chinese cloisonne, this appears to be one of the rarest of Japanese works, made even more so by the magnificent blue ginbari ground of the piece. Formed in the shaped of a reclining cat, it is a covered dish or box form with floral standard cloisonne patterns on the ginbari background. The piece is in very fine condition with no chips and no cracks on dings in the enameling. It is 6 inches long, 4 and three quarter inches high to the tip of the ears and 3 and one quarter inches wide at the widest. Dates from the mid Meiji period, circa 1890 to1910. An important piece for any collector of superb Japanese cloisonne
