DISCRIPTION by PETER COMBS Bronze-Imitation Archaic Late Meiji-Taisho Lamp NR

Description

Peter Combs' email to me:             DESCRIPTION BY Peter Combs
"Archaic Pottery vase (as a lamp) Late Meiji to early Taisho Period
appears to be Japanese, made in a manner to simulate a bronze vase. The repeat of lappets is a pattern that is often seen on Japanese Champleve enamel examples as well as late Meiji bronzes. The nearly same pattern can also be found on early Chinese Bronzes who originated the pattern. The circular bosses on the abbreviated shoulder can also be found on metalworks of the era.
The use of brown dressing to create a bronze-like surface originated in China and was adopted by Japanese potters who saw them during the late 19th C. . Many of the elements are bi-cultural between the Chinese and Japanese.
It's a dandy piece of pottery.
Age 1900 to 1920
Thank you,
Peter L. Combs"
