A FINE CLOISONNÉ ENAMEL TRAY DEPICTING MOUNT FUIJI IN THE STYLE OF NAMIKAWA SOSUKE Japan, Meiji period (1868-1912) Of oval form, the shallow rounded sides finely decorated to the interior in musen (wireless) enamels with a view of the snow-capped Mount Fuji in the mist and to the base in copper wire with bamboo leaves, chrysanthemum roundels, stylized flowerheads, and scrolling vines against a turquoise-blue ground. LENGTH 18.4 cm WEIGHT 266.3 g Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and manufacturing irregularities. Provenance: The Strong National Museum of Play, accession number 76.2503 (lacquered to the base). Margaret Woodbury Strong (1897-1969) grew up in a prosperous family of collectors. Her interests ranged so widely that by 1960 she had amassed more than 27,000 collectible items and works of art. The vast majority of her collections related in some way to play and as her accumulation grew, Margaret planned a museum to house her collection. It eventually opened to the public in 1982, and grew dramatically over the following decades, expanding its collections, facilities, and resources, now spanning over 285,000 square feet. Today, the Strong National Museum of Play (known as just The Strong Museum or simply The Strong) is the only collections-based museum in the world devoted solely to the study of play. Auction comparison: Compare to a tray by Namikawa Sosuke sold at Bonhams, Fine Japanese Art, 12 May 2011, London, lot 179 ( sold for 22,800 GBP ).
