A masterpiece of the Meiji period.
This exceptional cloisonné enamel vase by Kumeno Teitaro captures a dragon emerging from turbulent waves with extraordinary vitality and technical brilliance. Against a deep midnight-black ground, the dragon coils through luminous turquoise waters, demonstrating the remarkable artistry that established Nagoya as the center of Japan’s finest enamel production during the late 19th century.
Both sculptural and painterly, the vase embodies the innovation, precision, and imagination that define the greatest achievements of Japanese cloisonné.
