Ginger vessel with lid, Nagoya Shippô Kaisha 1871–1890. Japanese, Meiji period c. 1870–1880. Porcelain cloisonné totai-shippo technique, height 12.4 cm, diameter 9.6 cm. A small ovoid vase with a round flattened lid; exterior covered with a lemon-yellow glaze with a decorative crackled grid; interior and base are white covered with transparent glaze. Decorated with a naturalistic bean-vine motif of greenish-brown leaves and pink flowers, loosely twining around the body and reaching the lid. The motif was carved into the surface before filling with enamel and firing and executed using cloisonné enamel with brass wires and enamel in several shades of green and brown. Underglaze cobalt signature: Nihon Shippo Kaisha sei zo; overglaze red-iron rhomboid stamp with the sign sho presumed exporter’s mark. Around 1868 Tsukamoto Kaisuke developed this method of decorating porcelain with cloisonné; examples by Takeuchi Chubei and Suzuki Seiichiro and works from Nagoya workshops are known. Possible attribution to Takeuchi Chubei not signed., A rounded ceramic jar with a lid sits against a neutral gray background; the jar and lid are a warm yellow with a fine crackled surface and are decorated with a few green leaves and stems with touches of lighter green and a hint of pink on a small flower bud, outlined in a darker color. The jar casts a faint reflection on the glossy surface below.
