SOLD ITEM 5620 - Rare Japanese cloisonne Ginbari covered Cat box Meiji

There are 12 images of this item.
 
We have been collecting and handling Japanese cloisonne for many years and have NEVER seen a piece quite as unusual as this one. A thorough search of all the literature that we have on Japanese cloisonne does not reveal any other example of figurals done in cloissone. While birds and animals are plentiful in Chinese cloisonne, this appears to be one of the rarest of Japanese works, made even more so by the magnificent blue ginbari ground of the piece. Formed in the shaped of a reclining cat, it is a covered dish or box form with floral standard cloisonne patterns on the ginbari background. The piece is in very fine condition with no chips and no cracks on dings in the enameling. It is 6 inches long, 4 and three quarter inches high to the tip of the ears and 3 and one quarter inches wide at the widest. Dates from the mid Meiji period, circa 1890 to1910. An important piece for any collector of superb Japanese cloisonne
