Albert Racinet's "Polychrome Ornament," 1869 PLATE XI. CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART. CLOISONNE ENAMEL.

WE have ventured to unite under one title, Chinese and Japanese, the various specimens of enamel collected in our plate. They do in fact belong to one and the same style, as the art of ornamentation in Japan was formed under the influence of the Chinese, and presents no special characteristic to account for the greater esteem in which its productions are held, except a higher per­fection of workmanship and some superiority in individual taste. In fact, it is very often difficult to distinguish Chinese productions of this kind from those that arc produced in Japan, and it is frequently still more difficult to decide whether any particular piece belongs to ancient or to modern times. A few connoisseurs may profess to distinguish them by the method of their manufacture or the use of certain enamels; but the system of ornamentation has in general remained the same, and has changed the less from the circumstance that the most recent productions are merely copies of ancient ones. M. Jacquemart, in his Merveilles de la Ceramique, speaks thus on the subject: "The Chinese are skilful forgers and endeavor to profit by the taste of their fellow-countrymen for ancient and valuable works. It has sometimes happened in China, as with ourselves, that mere imitators have succeeded in obtaining for their works a reputation and value equal to those of the originals."
