Fisher says, they became more and more like ceramic paintings, revealing the "evanescence of life" and the beauties of nature. By contrast, the Japanese colors range through the spectrum. "There are no gradations or refinements." Colors usually are deep turquoise or dark blue-green and sometimes red and yellow against a dark background, he adds. A short tutorial on how to recognize and identify both Chinese and Japanese cloisonne.Josh will take a quick look at some of the common styles, motifs, and b. For instance, in Japanese, they often combine verbs and adjectives. Japanese grammar is a little more complex than its Chinese counterpart. While Japanese is an SOV language (subject, object, verb), Chinese is an SVO language (subject-verb-object). "There's a certain uniformity to Chinese cloisonne," says Mr. Chinese and Japanese tend toward different sentence structures. Few ceramics fans, for instance would confuse the serene elegance of Japanese vases from what is called the "golden period" of Meiji art (1868-1930) with the heavy-spirited Chinese specimens of the same period.
Fisher notes that there is "an enormous variety" in Japanese cloisonne, but even so it shows decided differences from the Chinese version that preceded it by centuries. Specimens abound in the world-class collection of Steve Fisher, a Baltimore County school principal whose elegant cloisonne assembly - a selection from about 250 pieces of it, anyway - was on display recently at Baltimore's Walters Art Gallery.
