A cloisonné work by the eminent artist Hattori Tadasaburō.
A pair of cloisonné vases depicting elegantly rendered chrysanthemums executed in the moriage (raised-relief) technique. The chrysanthemum blossoms, expressed with rich dimensional presence, are finished with painstaking delicacy petal by petal, and through the artist's consummate skill they emerge with a beauty overflowing with vital life force. The depth of expression achievable only through the moriage technique imparts to the composition as a whole an air of dignified elegance and radiant splendor.
This piece is also of substantial scale and possesses an imposing, commanding presence — one of its greatest attractions. When displayed in an interior, it radiates an overwhelming presence, allowing the viewer to fully savor the resplendent decorative beauty unique to Meiji-period cloisonné.
