Chinese Cloisonne Rooster
By way of contrast to our prior post here's a Chinese #Qing dynasty #Cloisonne #Incense#Burner

The Year of the Rooster isn't quite over yet. While web searching for treasures to share with you
I found this delightful pair of vases. Enjoy! The master who created these was called Sosuke.

Its still the year of the rooster!
#okimono #japanesesculpture #bronze #rooster #hen
It's still the Year of the Rooster so lets get back to that for a few posts though I will be doing other bird / flight / winged beings theme posts before the year of the dog starts.
One side effect of the fall of the Tokugawa regime was that craftsfolk working in metal who once produced objects catering to samurai and daimyo like sword scabbards, armour and helmets needed new markets and shifted to creating what the Japanese call okimono and we call Objects of Art or Small Sculptures such as this lovely pair.
Enjoy!!!
