Lot details By Ando Jubei (1876-1953), signed Ando sei and with the Ando company mark Japan, early 20th century, Meiji (1868-1912) to Taisho period (1912-1926) Of baluster-shape, the quatrefoil-lobed very finely worked in silver wire with brightly colored enamels arranged in four panels with bamboo (take), iris (shobu), plum (ume), and chrysanthemum (kiku), masterfully worked in the moriage technique. The mouth and foot rims of silver, stamped jungin (pure silver), and signed to the underside in seal script ANDO sei [made by Ando] and with the Ando company mark. HEIGHT 31.4 cm WEIGHT 2,551 g Condition: Excellent condition. Provenance: From a private collection in Denver, Colorado, USA. With a hand-written note from Shangrila Asia Museum appraising the present piece. Moriage (lit. ‘piling-up’) is a painstaking technique, which requires extreme care, especially at the polishing stage; it involves the building up of layers of enamel to produce a three-dimensional effect. It was ideally suited to natural subjects such as plants and flowers. The difficulty of the technique coupled with its striking effect has made moriage cloisonné works highly cherished by collectors. Ando Jubei (1876–1953) was a Japanese cloisonné artist from Nagoya. Along with Hayashi Kodenji, he dominated Nagoya's enameling industry in the late Meiji era. Ando, Namikawa Yasuyuki, and Namikawa Sosuke are considered the three artists whose technical innovations brought in the "Golden Age for Japanese cloisonné" in the late 19th century. Ando Jubei was the Meiji era's most prolific creator of presentation wares (artworks that were commissioned by members of the Imperial Family for presentation to foreign dignitaries). He exhibited at the Japan–British Exhibition of 1910.
