Vase, Nogawa role classification of creator, workshop; ; repossession Krakow — wisteria, butterflies; Japanese art, vases, Japanese culture; Meiji 1868–1912. A slender miniature vase with a belly widening slightly toward the top and narrow, straight arms. There is no neck; the spout is a flat ring. The bottom is round, slightly recessed, with an engraved brand. Decoration is sparse: a naturalistically treated wisteria vine on the upper part of the belly on one side, with a sumptuous flower cluster hanging almost to the base. Masterly technique of combining various metals and alloys gives the vessel colorfulness, enhanced by the darker tone of the decorative motif versus the background. Although made of silver, gilding and black shakudo patina make it appear colorful, combining naturalism with sublime decorativeness. Ca. 1890–1900 Meiji Period, Japan; Kyoto. Vessel. Height 15.7 cm; width 5.3 cm., A tall tapered vase with a smooth surface in shades of brown and ochre stands against a gray background, showing a glossy rim at the top; a decorative branch with leaves and hanging clusters in a darker, almost black color climbs down one side, creating a contrast with the warm brown body, and the piece rests on a muted beige pedestal with subtle reflections.
