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.
