    Description

    Hello Cloisonne Collectors!
    Here is a fascinating Japanese cloisonne demonstration or progression set, complete with the original wooden box.
    There are 12 round disks in this set that clearly shows the incredibly labor intensive art-form.
    The wooden box is original to the set which is quite rare.
    It comes with the original
    Inaba
    cloisonne workshop brochure.
    There is some paper rubbing and loss right next to the company telephone number (please refer to the images provided).
    The wooden box top is slightly warped due to age.
    One demonstration disk has enamel loss; please refer to the detailed images provided.
    I originally purchased this set many years ago as part of my long-term efforts to acquire items that dramatically showed the many steps and skill that were required for this beautiful and complex art form.
    A fellow collector sent me a copy of a nearly identical set that was illustrated in a Japanese reference book.
    I do not know the source documentation.
    Japanese demonstration or progression sets are rare and highly sought after by collectors.
    The diameter of the demonstration disks is approximately 1.25 inches
    The length of the box is approximately 6.75 inches, the width approximately 5.0 inches and 0.75 in height.
    This item will be packed with tremendous care.
