Subject:Mysterious Cloisonne Box Lid Inscription - 19th Century?
Posted By: beadiste Thu, Jan 14, 2016 IP: 206.174.69.67 A nice floral box with silk lining. The bottom seal seems to be some sort of QianLong rendition? |
Subject:Re: Mysterious Cloisonne Box Lid Inscription - 19th Century?
Posted By: rat Fri, Jan 15, 2016 This is an odd one. Yes about the bottom being some Qianlong variant, but I have no reading for the character on the right within the circle which under other circumstances I would expect to be 年 for "years" or "reign." I don't remember seeing the character written this way before, however. Otherwise the reading is 乾隆X造 |
Subject:Thanks, rat. Enamel colors ambiguous, but...
Posted By: beadiste Sat, Jan 16, 2016 here are some other boxes, from China and Japan, from various decades between 1880 and 1930 (yes, I know, that's a 50-years span). |

Posted By: beadiste Sat, Jan 16, 2016 Note the fine wirework and naturalism. |

Posted By: rat Sun, Jan 17, 2016 That's Chinese? Would have guessed Japan. Seems quite detailed. |
Subject:DeXingCheng pieces can be fairly awesome

Subject:Re:The inscription on the lid may 子 久 画 - painter Juan Gunvan?
Posted By: Evgeny Sun, Jan 17, 2016 Hello. I read the Chinese characters do not know, but I was helped. Perhaps 子 久 画 - author Tszytszyu. Tszytszyu - another name of the artist Juan Gunvan (1269-1354)? Http: //wapbaike.baidu.com/view/88741.htm? Adapt = & 1, but drew in a very different style. Stylized characters on the edges possible right 行, left 仔. Why are they there, I do not know. |

Posted By: rat Mon, Jan 18, 2016 Great idea if the middle character is really 久. Using pinyin romanization it would be Zijiu, one of the names for Yuan landscape painter Huang Gongwang. But that artist has zero stylistic relevance to this scene or medium and is not known as a calligrapher (the third character is 書 to write, not 畫/画 to paint). |
