It’s #InternationalRespectForChickensDay 🐓 so here some roosters from the The Walters Art Museum’s Arts Across Asia exhibition!

Namikawa Sosuke (1847-1910) Vase with Rooster, Hen, and Chicks among Banana Plants Japan (Tokyo), early 20th century copper, gold-copper alloy (shakudö), silver, gold, enamel Walters Art Museum

“Beginning in the 1880s, Japanese cloisonné artists developed wireless cloisonné (musen shippo), a technique for which Namikawa Sosuke was renowned. This vase shows no traces of the metal wires that initially outlined the animals and plants. The effect was achieved by taking off the metal wires before each of the three firings, resulting in a cloisonné design that the artist intended to look like a painting.”

Kutani Shozo (1816-1883) Kutani: Dish with Roosters Under Cherry Tree Japan, c. 1876 porcelain, overglaze enamel, gilding Walters Art Museum

“By the second half of the 19th century, Kutani ceramics, such as this dish, began to be exported. The Kutani style of this period is marked by a heavy reliance on red and the use of gold, an opulent effect that undoubtedly appealed to foreign tastes.”

Let's discuss jewelry made with cloisonné art.

Later in history, during the Renaissance, cloisonné saw a resurgence in popularity as European artisans tried to replicate the beauty of this Eastern technique.

Nearer to the present, the organic shapes and vivid colors of cloisonné were embraced by the Art Nouveau movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, revitalizing the tradition.

I know from personal experience that when one stumbles upon an old cloisonné piece in a hidden corner of a vintage shop, they are instantly transported back in time to the hands that painstakingly created it years ago.

These are powders of colored glass that have been finely powdered. They fuse to the metal basis at high temperatures, creating a surface that is robust and glossy.

Often composed of gold or silver, thin wires are expertly bent and attached to the metal base to create complex patterns that characterize the design.

The enamel mosaic that now adorns the metal cloisons produces an enthralling interplay of color and light

At last I found myself a creative moment in the studio yesterday to sort through lots of lost treasures and broken artefacts. I was also able to design these salvaged jewelry and upcycled earrings in pretty teal and orange sunset colours. I love these puffy Cloisonné enamel disc beads which feature the ancient Chinese symbol of Longevity. They pair well with the two glass flower molded carriage clock decorations that I found in a box of large clock parts. I gave them a tint of turquoise and gold alcohol inks to bring out the textures. At the base are some pretty mother of pearl carved flowers with pink coral beads and Czech glass leaf.
