AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A cloisonné enamel vase entitled ‘Stream’ 流 (Ryû) by Shibata Akira 柴田明 (born 1942), decorated with flowing waves in deep blue, white and pale grey.

The flattened oval body provides a broad surface for the sweeping design, with fine silver wires tracing the currents and dividing the smoothly polished enamel colours. Executed in silver-wire cloisonné 有線七宝 (yûsen shippô), the composition continues around the curved sides. Silver mounts line the mouth, edges and base. Signed ‘Akira’ 明 to the base.

Shibata Akira 柴田明 (b. 1942), from Yokkaichi City (Mie Prefecture), is a leading contemporary cloisonné artist. Trained at the Andô Cloisonné Company 安藤七宝店, he works in the traditional yûsen technique, executing all stages of production himself. Since 1970 he has been regularly selected for the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition (Nihon Dentô Kôgeiten), receiving multiple awards. He is a full member of the Japan Kôgeikai 日本工芸会.

Complete with the original wooden storage box 共箱 (tomobako), inscribed with the title, signed and sealed by the artist. Accompanied by an artist’s leaflet, label and photograph. The box label records the production year as 2013.
