Hand-decorated porcelain vase and urn, cobalt - Imperial Japan KUTANI

Kutani porcelain cobalt vase Japan
 Hand-decorated porcelain vase and urn, cobalt - Imperial Japan KUTANI

20 EURO


Vases "KUTANI" - porcelain, cobalt - are very decorative and have a high degree of collecting. The imperial tradition and style vases, even made in the modern (and I refer to the period "occupied Japan" and immediately after) porcelain objects (vases, urns, cans, boxes etc.) "KUTANI" are very fine and quality, form and keeping the unspoiled setting trends "kitsch" of "china" of all kinds.
We here at the sale, a small urn (13.5 cm high and 5.7 cm diameter) and a miniature vase (6 cm height and 5.3 cm diameter) white porcelain enameled in cobalt color imperial partially decorated manually with colloidal gold and enamel, two-stage combustion in the furnace. That basic design is done by transferring colloidal gold amid cobalt and enamel colors manually added sun in style "cloisonne-convex" - being slightly raised. It takes finesse and refinement for it, but it differs somewhat from "fake" others. The pieces are marked on the bottom, all with colloidal gold, lacking the "Made in Japan" which appears to many the like. It is known that authentic pieces do not bear the "Made in Japan" because they generally do not use the Latin alphabet. In some cases can be met "Japan" or "Nipon" - the country used by the Japanese, not "Made in Japan".
The pieces are like us, without defects. The decor is intact.
I will insist on beauty, finesse and elegance of them - see the photos. About price, I can say? Search KUTANI COBALT VASE and you will find references.

50 EURO


SOLD

Condition: The piece is like new, without defects.

An impressive statue crystal handmade sommerso technique, the first layer dressed in emerald green is one of neodymium (also known as Alexandrite) which, in turn, is dressed in crystal clear.

Why impressive? For that, beyond the intrinsic beauty - color and shape, presence of neodymium layer provides the ability to track change color depending on light. Thus the sun's natural light color is lilac to white-fluorescent light source changes color and a smoky blue artificial light source neodymium layer becomes yellow. It is due to the presence of neodymium oxide (Nd3O3).

Proposed to sell his piece is authored by brothers Marcolini - Murano glassware artists who settled in Sweden, have set up in the '60s, "FM Konstglas of Ronneby" - closed in the 90s, with their withdrawal from activity. Such pieces are extremely rare and no longer produce. I met one, on sale at a price of 150 USD. I mean the statue in question, the statue is quite large in size. I think that the price indicated is more than modest compared with the market and to convince you that I invite you to look for products Konstglas FM or FM Ronneby Sweden Ronneby Sweden Marcolini.

Capodimonte Italy Majolica Jewelry Box - Panteo

Capodimonte Italy Jwelery Box
 Majolica jewelry box handmade - Capodimonte - Panteo, Italy
40 EUR

Condition: very good, given the years passed. Very rarely can find a piece so well preserved, with whole flowers - these are very delicate petals.
Dimensions: diameter about 12.5 cm, height 8.5 cm.

Piece proposed for sale is certainly very old, early twentieth century, most likely. Style "Capodimonte" is ubiquitous today, numerous workshops, factories, plants and large manufacturers of porcelain fills in it. Ultimately style is spectacular ... the delicacy and the visual effect. What entitles me to say that talking about an antique and not some piece Capodimonte, (however expensive, regardless of the period) is - apart from its appearance, which shows that over the past several years have box - colored majolica mixture of is made, but decor colors, bright colors, different from those used today. Eventually it can mimic many, but not the original color pigments or material, or decor delicacy. Majolica mixture is just the color that is white in imitation and all that followed, more open. Capodimonte pieces belonging to the original or workshops that have succeeded in the area, blending fine - soft pulp - white clay is mixed with glass, darker, while the modern imitations are usually white. Even more, it gives a patina color on them to mimic the Capodimonte pieces! Here is a pretty good imitation of the '50s: http://www.euroluxantiques.com/Vintage-Italian-Capodimonte-Lidded-Bowl-Jewelry-Dish-P3956.aspx
Base material color is too white, the cover is too loaded with roses, flowers are too high, the drawing is indelicate, about colors ... what to mention?

General:
Capodimonte (Capo Di Monte initially) was the most famous porcelain manufacturer in Italy. Established in 1740, was the answer Capodimonte Italy for Porcelain factory Meissen, famous in Germany. After the factory was closed în1820 Capodimonte (1860, 1880 - according to others), many of the models, their patterns were acquired by the Ginori factory which designs reproduced many of Capodimonte. Due to the popularity Capodimonte, enough producers such as Bassano, produced pieces in similar style. Bassano there in 1800 and probably try to compete Capodimonte style taking after closing. Panteo model products is made Naples during the Italian Republic (see French Revolution!) Model continued many years after. Eventually Capodimonte Ginori and Bassano are followers as authentic style.

Elsie Bourelius Flower Girl Ceramic Figurine Design For JIE Gantofta Sweden

Elsie Bourelius Flower Girl Ceramic Figurine Design For JIE Gantofta Sweden
40 EURO
Status: exelente without flaws - both track original and copy.
Dimensions: height 19 cm, diameter at the base than 9 cm.

Here is one of the famous statuettes (figurines) made by no less famous Bourelius Elsie (Elsie Margaret Bourelius b. 1919 - d. 2001) for "JIE Gantofta" - where she created valuable art pottery between 1965 to 1973. Elsie B. made serious studies of ceramic art in Stockholm, the "Belle Arte" (1929-1934) and Berlin, throughout 1936. She is considered one of Europe's most important ceramists, with many exhibitors and pieces like owned by the museums devoted to ceramics.

I will not describe this piece of art, (you can see the photos), but I will insist that "florist" (Blomsterflickan - or Flower girl) came to be forged, copied, imitated by all means - and that says a lot about aesthetics and why not the authentic material. Coincidentally or not, I have two "florists" - one 100% genuine, the other a copy (not to say false, however, that we not talk of a Picasso!). Quite successful, who managed to fool me, recognize . It is possible, I think, that some "Florist" may have also been made in JIE and after leaving the artist.
Of course, when you have both the front is not very hard to notice the differences. Is hard to figure out the pictures on the net - so I understand why many of them are deliberately "fuzzy"! But there are some differences, which can be seen in the photos:

1. Clothes - from the authentic is worked separately and then placed on the head, different color and the top is higher. The copy is worked in block, not added - as in "flower girl" smaller than 12 cm high.
2. Going down to the authentic neck is thinner, more delicate.
3. Colored dress, which is the resistance of the drawing, is a dark blue, mottled, suggesting light fall on the dress - the authentic piece. And speaking of color, I met online market all sorts of colors, from burgundy red to yellow, green - or blue when only one was used by Elsie B.
4.The apron - its outline is shaded with a dark blue to black. And would be ... the lack of stickers sites, the color of the tiles, which is more closed to the authentic.
