Subject:Japanese yellow ground cloisonne vase w/ silver mounts
Posted By: Brandon mccloskey Tue, Jan 16, 2018 IP: 173.191.104.106 Hi all, I was hoping you guys could help me date this 5 1/2" tall vase I have. All similar ones I can find range from antiquity to mid century with nothing I personally can find to distinguish the ages. |

Posted By: Brandon mccloskey Thu, Jan 18, 2018 Excellent, thank you so much beadiste! I suppose I was never able to find the mark because I was searching for a fan with the letter A and not a diamond. I have to admit I was hoping it was some obscure Ando mark used before the known one but oh well it doesn't really matter, I did get it mostly for personal enjoyment. I agree with you the custardy yellow is very attractive but its a shame about the cracks :/ They are ever so faint, you cant even feel them with your fingernail. I was thinking about cleaning them really well to try and get the green (what I assume is from copper) out and putting some clear nail polish on it, what do you think? |

Posted By: Brandon mccloskey Sat, Jan 20, 2018 I was just going to use a fine jewelry cleaning brush and some baking soda tooth paste to try and get that green out of there but thank you, If I do nothing to it will it get worse? When I first acquired the piece I didn't notice it (It could have been there) but Im thinking it happened in the years sitting on my shelf? |
