This large Chinese cloisonne enamel vase dates from around 1900 during the late Qing Dynasty. The piece is constructed from copper and enamel with brass rims at the flared lip and base. The exterior displays a turquoise blue ground with a geometric fretwork pattern, overlaid with floral motifs including pink and red peonies, green leaves, and yellow blossoms, alongside decorative leaf borders in blue and green. Detailed wire-work separates the enamelled sections, and the base bears an impressed "CHINA" mark. Measuring 39.5 cm high and 20.5 cm in diameter at its widest point, this substantial item serves as a prominent display piece. It functions effectively when placed atop a sideboard in a living room, dining room, or hallway to add decorative colour to an interior space.

FAQs

Cloisonne is an decorative metalworking technique where thin metallic wires are soldered onto a metal base to form intricate compartments, which are then filled with enamel paste, fired, and polished flat.

Traditional cloisonne objects feature a copper or brass body, fine metal wires forming the cloisons, and glass-based coloured enamel pastes, often finished with gilt brass rims.

Authentic pieces from circa 1900 typically feature hand-applied wirework, minute pinhole firing imperfections in the enamel surface, substantial weight, and patinated brass edges.

Display the vase as an accent piece on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table against neutral backdrops to draw focus to its colour contrast and detailed pattern work.

Dust the surface lightly using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquids and abrasive chemical cleaners, and store in a stable climate away from excess moisture to prevent tarnish on exposed metal edges.
