JAPON ÉPOQUE MEIJI (1868 - 1912)
Large olive-green and white stoneware vase decorated in gold and silver lacquer with a large falcon with spread wings, perched on a branch. The ovoid-shaped jar rests on a flared foot, and ends in a short, wide circular neck with a milky-white glaze extending over the shoulder, the rest of the ceramic glazed in transparent olive green. The decoration, in takamaki-e and hiramaki-e gold and silver lacquer, spreads freely over the body, depicting a large hawk with outstretched wings, resting on a wide gnarled branch and accompanied by eight sparrows fluttering among the branches.
H. 50.5 cm
NOTE
The Meiji period (1868 - 1912) marked Japan's entry into a new era, marked by openness to the world and unprecedented development of the arts and industry.
This important vase is characteristic of the artistic and decorative splendor of the Meiji period. It combines the ancestral techniques of ceramics and maki-e gold lacquer, while evoking a naturalism and power of representation characteristic of this period of renewal of Japanese imperial power. The two techniques interact harmoniously, with the matte lacquer contrasting subtly with the glossy stoneware glaze. The lacquer artist displays the full extent of his technical skills, playing on different reliefs and textures, but also on the contrast between gold and silver lacquer, reinforcing the impression of life and vigor in this naturalistic representation of a bird of prey.
