• Lot Description
  66. Cloisonné Enamel Cane -Ca. 1890 -Large Shippo enamel handle with a substantial round and flattened knob on its integral long and tapering stem profusely decorated with various blooms and floral elements in well matched darker colors. The flawless handle is executed in the ancient and traditional Far-Eastern love for the detail perfection, and comes on an ebony shaft and horn ferrule. -With the great popularity of canes and growing demand for decorative items, walking stick manufacturers of the western world, European as well as American, began to import cane handles and other items from the Orient in the second half of the 19th century. Japan and China were major suppliers for excellent carvings and great metalwork like this cane. -H. 4 ¾” x 2”, O.L. 35” -$700-$900 -Cloisonné is a way of enameling an object, (typically made of copper) whereby fine wires are used to delineate the decorative areas (cloisons in French, hence cloisonné) into which enamel paste is applied before the object is fired and polished. -The Japanese characters used for the word shippo (the Japanese term for enamelware) mean “Seven Treasures” which is a reference to the seven treasures mentioned in Buddhist texts. Although these treasures may vary, they generally included at least some of the following: gold, silver, emerald, coral, agate, lapis lazuli, giant clamshell, glass and pearl. The Japanese applied this expression to the rich colors found on Chinese enamel wares and later to those they made themselves.
