A Very Fine Chinese Gilt Metal and Cloisonné Vase.

1920 - 1940
Description

This very fine example of Chinese cloisonné art is beautifully hand decorated onto a gilt metal body, which has been intricately worked with fine wire, which is soldered onto the body in a scrolled and foliate pattern interspersed with exotic flowers.

The design has then been filled and fired with glass enamel only in selected areas in a rich palette of colours which include turquoise, purple and mauve, black, white, green and pink set against a rich gilt metal surface.

This beautiful vase is a lovely, unusual shape with its flared foot, bulbous body, tall, shaped neck and inverted rim.

Chinese, circa 1930

This Chinese cloisonné vase from the Qing Dynasty period is made from gilt metal, enamel, and copper. The piece takes an unusual shape with a flared foot, a bulbous body, a tall shaped neck with a garlic-mouth, and an inverted rim. The exterior exhibits a textured gold ground decorated with polychrome floral cloisonné motifs, lotus scrolls, and gilt wirework. The enamel filling appears in turquoise, purple, mauve, black, white, green, and pink. The vase measures 18.5 cm high, 11 cm wide, and 11 cm deep. In a modern home interior, this object suits display on a sideboard top as a decorative accent. The vibrant palette of colours and intricate surface details provide a maximalist aesthetic for collectors of Asian art and metalwork. The design incorporates elaborate floral patterns that contrast against the gleaming metal surfaces throughout the neck and the rounded body. The construction combines traditional metalworking techniques with durable vitreous enamels, resulting in a solid ornamental vessel designed for display in reception rooms or living spaces.

Cloisonne is an ancient decorative technique where fine metal wires or ribbons are applied to a vessels body to form intricate compartments, which are then filled with coloured enamel pastes before being fired and polished.

Traditional Chinese cloisonne pieces are constructed with a copper or bronze base, fine copper or brass gilt wires for the cell work, and vitreous glass pastes mixed with metallic oxides for pigment.

Authentic historic examples typically exhibit small pitting or tiny air bubbles in the enamel surface, heavy hand-hammered bronze or copper bases, delicate wirework, and gilding showing light, natural wear along exposed edges.

A cloisonne vase functions as a rich accent piece on a dark wood sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table, adding visual texture, vibrant colour, and pattern to modern or traditional rooms.

Clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive polishes, or moisture immersion, as liquids can seep into micro-cracks and oxidize the underlying metal structure.
