Rare Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Inro - Associated Set

Description

Here is an extremely rare Japanese
yusen shippo
(standard wire) enamel cloisonné
inro
set comprising of a charming diminutive
inro
with associated
ojime
(bead) and a small shallow bowl
netsuke
(toggle).
This three piece set was the result of patiently waiting for these pieces to come together over a period of over 30 years!
I had previously seen a few other sets, however, in all cases, the asking price was far too high. Despite the associated nature of the set, the color palette and design elements go well together.
Due to the detailed nature of each component, I have provided the full page description of the set.
This set can also be seen on page 113 in the reference book, “Japanese Cloisonne Enamels; A Private Collector’s Notes and Reference Guide,” by Gary Yoshino.
Overall, a very charming three piece associated
inro
,
ojime
and
netsuke
set which normally would not be available unless a collector was very patient AND willing to make a substantial investment.
The set is in very good antique condition and does not have major condition issues; please refer to the numerous detailed images provided.
Due to the fragile nature of cloisonné enamels, this item will be double boxed and packed with tremendous care.
Be sure to keep all original packing until you are completely satisfied and have left positive feedback.
This item will be shipped by USPS Priority Mail with insurance to confirmed addresses within the United States.  Due to significant international shipment delays, we currently cannot offer overseas transactions.
International customers who utilize freight forwarding companies are asked to retrain from purchasing as deliveries are taking extremely long.
Please ask any and all questions
prior
to purchasing.  Thank you!
