Vase with Waterfall

Namikawa Yasuyuki (mentioned on object), 1910 - 1915

Yasuyuki brought the art of cloisonné enamelling to an artistic and technical pinnacle. He was the first to use the entire surface and to create an all-encompassing composition that also takes into account the object’s shape. The details of the waterfall are executed in silver wire. Like a brushstroke in a painting, here each wire is individually sculpted.
