A FINE PAIR OF MIDNIGHT-BLUE CLOISONNé ENAMEL ‘SPARROWS AMID WISTERIA’ FACETED BALUSTER VASES, STYLE OF HAYASHI KODENJI

Japan, c. 1880, Meiji period (1868-1912)

The large hexagonal-faceted bodies gently tapering toward flat bases and rising to slender, slightly waisted necks with flared rims, each end fitted with brass mounts. Each vase bearing a deep midnight-blue ground, finely decorated in vibrant enamels with gilt wire, to depict a pair of sparrows (suzume) perched on leafy branches of blossoming wisteria (fuji). The foot and rim intricately decorated with colorful diapered patterns of stylized floral motifs.

HEIGHT 24.7 cm (each)
WEIGHT 331.3 g and 356.8 g

Provenance: Kobe Asiatische Kunst und Antiquit?ten, Zurich, Switzerland, 1986. An old private collection in Bern, Switzerland, acquired from the above. A copy of the original signed and stamped invoice, dated 1986, addressed to Mr. K., stating a purchase price of CHF 8,800 (or approx. EUR 15,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot.
Condition: Excellent condition with no damages or restorations (checked under UV light). Minor wear, light scratches, typical manufacturing-inherent irregularities.

Hayashi Kodenji (1831-1915) was a pivotal figure in the history of cloisonné enameling and instrumental in the formation and leadership of the Shippo-cho enamelers guild, and it is probable that he worked for the Nagoya-based Shippo Kaisha. As well as being an innovative enameler he was also an astute businessman. Stories are told that in his early days he walked from Nagoya to Yokohama to sell his wares at a time when there was a long-standing prohibition on selling copper (which included the body of the cloisonné objects). He worked with his son, Kodenji II, for over 40 years and it is often hard to differentiate the work of the two makers. He exhibited and won prizes at many international exhibitions: Nuremberg 1885 (silver), Paris 1889 (silver) and St Louis 1904 (gold). In 1912, Glendining of London auctioned over 300 ‘Japanese cloisonné enamels from the Glasgow Exhibition offered for sale by Mr. K Hayashi of Nagoya’.
