Japanese Silver and Enamel Cream Jug and Sugar Bowl - Antique Circa 1890

£2,450.00

An exceptional, fine and impressive antique Japanese silver and enamel cream jug and sugar bowl set; part of our Japanese silverware collection

SKU C8565

This exceptional antique Japanese silver cream jug and covered sugar bowl have a circular pumpkin-shaped form.


This antique silver bowl and cream jug each have an incurved segmented form accented with applied stemmed cherry blossom designs, accented with enamel decoration.


The impressive sugar bowl is fitted with an impressive cinquefoil shaped push fit cover, ornamented with a continuation of stemmed blossom designs and surmounted with a cast and applied finial realistically modelled in the form of a butterfly, incorporating further multi-coloured enamel decoration.


Each component of this silver jug and bowl set is fitted with silver bamboo stalk handles, accented with leaf designs.


Such examples of enamel decorated teaware are rare to the market, and becoming increasingly difficult to locate in this fine condition.


We are grateful to Adrien von Ferscht for his help in identifying this exceptional antique piece.


Maker: Sanju Saku

This antique silver cream and sugar set is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

The Japanese hallmarks struck to the underside of each piece are very clear.


Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of Japanese silver and enamel jug and bowl set.
