About the Item

A high quality antique Japanese Meiji era, 1868 to 1912, decorative brass plate. Attributed to GOTO The exterior of the plate is adorned with polychrome flowers and butterflies on a white enamel ground, and painted with images of a pair of cranes in a fan shaped medallion and a pair of ducks on a pond in an abstract shaped medallion. The border features a finely detailed stylized floral motif. The backside is decorated with a swirl ornament made in the Cloisonne technique and bears a polychrome enameled flower to the center of the bottom. Circa 1880 Shōzaburō Gotō was a skilled Japanese artisan who began his work in the Nagoya area before relocating to the international trading hub of Yokohama around 1872–1874. Known for producing high-quality cloisonné enamel pieces, he gained recognition by winning 4th prize at the 1877 First Japan Domestic Exhibition in Tokyo. His reputation grew, securing 1st prize at the 1881 Second Japan Domestic Exhibition and earning a medal at the 1893 Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition. Today, examples of his exquisite craftsmanship can be found in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. OVERALL GOOD ANTIQUE CONDITION. REFER TO PHOTOS. D 12 IN.
