Subject:Japanese shippo charger
Posted By: Nick Fri, Jun 30, 2017 IP: 212.166.56.147

Hi to all,

I very recently acquired this piece (46cm diameter) which I find quite unusual in terms of palette & technique. Overall this is a very light piece in terms of weight and I even was under the impression that the back side was lacquered and not enameled(sorry no pics available for the time being). Quite strange...

No marks.

Could it be labelled as Hayashi Kodenji style?

There was another recent example in the forum of this style of lacquered porcelain:

Fredric Schneider devotes several pages to this style of cloisonne in his book The Art of Japanese Cloisonne Example. Evidently it was a Nagoya product, c1900 and later.

[Schneider also indicates the Japanese used this lacquer cloisonne technique on wood and papier-mache as well, similar to traditional lacquer work]

Hi Beadiste, thanks a lot for this information.

Actually I think it is indeed made on wood because it wouldn't be as light as it is otherwise.

I wonder how it is possible to fire enamel on wood? Usually the tree bark covers most of the porcelain surface while here it covers only part of it. Here, what you refer to as tree bark is the rocky texture.

I am actually quite fond of this piece because there is even sign of decay on one of the leaves which is quite realistic and at the same time reminding that time passes by and only rocks remain...

Say, Beadiste, could you be more specific about what Fredric Schneider tells us on nuri jippo ? Seems like it's a long lost art form of some kind
