拍品描述
Description AN EXCEPTIONAL MIXED METAL ‘SHOKI AND ONI’ VASE Japan, Meiji period (1868-1912) The bulbous bronze vase with a slender neck and everted lip finely worked in gold, silver, copper, and shibuichi takazogan, as well as some kebori and katakiri, depicting the grim-faced demon queller Shoki with his sword drawn. A separately cast oni with gilt eyes and horns is holding a large silver cloth and quite amusingly polishing the vase with it. The vase is further embellished with a beautiful gold orchid, leafy vines, and a sparrow depicted in mid-flight. The central section and the rim with a concentric band showing minutely stippled ground finely worked in silver and gold takazogan depicting formal designs and leafy vines. HEIGHT 23.5 cm WEIGHT 1322 g Condition: Very good condition with associated surface wear, including some tiny surface nicks and minor casting irregularities. Small dent to the foot rim. Provenance: Old Swiss private collection formed in the 1940s/50s. The oni represented in this vase is likely a repentant oni looking to convert to Buddhism. The little devil is trying to make amends by polishing the vase, though the demon queller does not seem particularly impressed. The quality of workmanship is so fine, it appears as if Shoki is about to come out of the vase and strike the oni down. Literature comparison:The manner of the oni shows some similarities with the work of Sano Takachika. See for example The Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Japanese Art - Treasures of Imperial Japan, Metalwork Part II, p. 123.
