1920s Japanese reverse painting on glass with mother of pearl. Wall hanging with string.
A genuinely lovely 1920s Japanese reverse-painted glass picture incorporating mother of pearl inlay — a classic form of Taishō-era Japanese export art that's become highly collectable in recent years.
The technique sees the image painted onto the back of the glass and viewed from the front, producing a richly luminous finish. The mother-of-pearl elements catch the light beautifully and shift in tone depending on viewing angle. The piece comes complete with its original hanging string, ready to display.
An ideal collector's piece for those interested in Japonisme, Taishō decorative arts, or vintage Asian export wall art. Please see all photographs for full condition.
Will be carefully packed and dispatched fully tracked and insured. UK shipping; international buyers welcome via eBay's Global Shipping Programme.
