About

Add a touch of color and Eastern elegance to a console, mantel, or occasional table with this decorative vintage cloisonné vase. Crafted in China circa 1980, the elegant baluster-shaped vessel features a rounded bulbous body, a slender neck, and a flared opening, creating a graceful and well-balanced silhouette. The vase rests on a carved ebonized wooden stand, enhancing its decorative appeal.

The exterior is richly embellished with intricate floral and foliage motifs, meticulously executed in the traditional cloisonné enamel technique. Large blooming flowers in vibrant shades of red, orange, and green are accented with black detailing and delicate gold-toned wire outlines, creating an elaborate design against a warm reddish-brown background. The vase is further decorated with brass trim around the flared rim, neck, and circular base, adding a refined finishing touch.

Cloisonné is an ancient decorative technique in which thin metal wires are applied to a metal surface to form individual compartments, subsequently filled with colored enamel and fired. Introduced to China centuries ago, this intricate art form became especially popular for decorative vessels and ornamental objects.

The vintage vase is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and retains a rich, colorful enamel finish. Display it on a bookshelf, entry console, or side table, either alone or filled with flowers, for an elegant decorative accent.

Dimensions: 5.75″ Diameter x 9.75″H (including wooden stand).
