This pair of Edwardian cloisonné vases follows a traditional baluster form in the Chinese Asian antiques style, constructed from copper and brass with white cloisonné enamel. Each vessel stands 27 cm high, 15 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, displaying a fine wirework lattice ground beneath distinct floral motifs. The left vase features pink blossoms on brown branches, while the right piece presents green and white flower heads with leafy stems, both accompanied by subtle blue bird details near the shoulders and gilded flared rims. The enamel shows bright white, pink, green, and blue hues alongside polished metallic borders and a notable lack of dents across the well preserved bodies. Positioned together on a mantelpiece, these decorative objects provide a balanced display for traditional or maximalist interiors, functioning well as standalone accent pieces or holding dried botanical arrangements.

FAQs

Cloisonne metalwork technique developed in the Middle East and was introduced to China during the Yuan Dynasty, reaching high levels of refinement in the Ming and Qing periods. Artisans soldered thin copper or brass wires onto a metal body to create outlined patterns, which were then filled with coloured enamel pastes and fired repeatedly.

Traditional cloisonne vases are constructed on a copper or brass base structure. The decorative lattice and outlines are formed using flattened metal wires, while the cell fillings consist of powdered glass vitreous enamel coloured with metallic oxides, finished with gilding on exposed metal edges.

Authentic handmade cloisonne features minute imperfections such as tiny surface air bubbles or pitting in the fired enamel glaze. Genuine antique or vintage pieces will show hand-bent wire borders with slight variations in width, along with natural oxidisation or wear to the gilded brass rims and interior bases.

Position cloisonne vases as accent pieces on a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece to create visual contrast against contemporary backdrops. Pairing them alongside minimalist ceramics or modern framed artwork allows their detailed wirework and floral motifs to draw focus.

Clean cloisonne surface enamel with a soft dry or slightly dampened microfibre cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive polish, harsh chemicals, or soaking in water, as moisture can enter fine micro-fractures in the enamel or corrode the underlying metal matrix.
