An antique Japanese late Meiji era covered Totai enamel on ceramic ginger jar. Circa: late 19th century to early 20th century. The body and the lid of the ware are enameled with polychrome figural medallions representing blossoming flowers, butterflies, and birds designs surrounded by geometrical, floral, and butterfly ornaments made in the Cloisonne technique. The neck and the base are adorned with geometrical, and foliage motifs made in the same technique. A cover features an image of three nestlings surrounded by scaly, foliage and geometrical motifs. Unsigned. Totai Shippo is the name given to Japanese cloisonne on ceramics, both on earthenwares and on porcelain.
