On offer is a striking true pair of 20th-century Chinese cloisonné enamel vases, featuring bold floral and bird motifs against a dramatic black background. These vases are not just decorative—they are a celebration of traditional Chinese craftsmanship, making them ideal for collectors and lovers of fine oriental art.

Each vase stands at approximately 6 inches tall, and what makes them a true pair is their mirrored design: the floral compositions and birds face opposite directions, creating a harmonious visual balance when displayed together. This intentional symmetry is a hallmark of quality paired cloisonné, often reserved for higher-end decorative pieces.

Set against a deep black enamel ground, the vibrant hues of lavender, pale green, blue, and russet pop with intensity. These vases are adorned with blooming peonies and stylized foliage, symbolizing prosperity, beauty, and nobility in Chinese culture. The detailing is finely executed using traditional cloisonné wirework—a labor-intensive enameling technique dating back to the Ming Dynasty and revived in the 20th century for export and collector markets.

The condition is very good, with no damage or enamel loss, and only minor surface wear and light scratches, entirely appropriate for vintage pieces of this age.

📌 Key Features:
✅ True mirrored pair – birds and flowers face opposite directions
✅ Traditional Chinese cloisonné enamel work on copper
✅ Bold floral motifs with fine enamel coloring and rich contrast
✅ Excellent condition – no damage, light age-related surface wear
✅ Approx. 6 inches (15.2 cm) tall each

About Chinese Cloisonné Enamel:

Cloisonné, or “Jingtai Lan” (景泰蓝), is a revered Chinese decorative art form combining metal and enamel. Originating during the Yuan Dynasty and refined during the Ming and Qing periods, the process involves creating fine wire partitions (cloisons) on a copper body, filling them with vitreous enamel, and firing them multiple times for durability and brilliance.

These mid-20th-century vases are superb examples of this time-honored technique, likely created during a period when Chinese cloisonné was widely exported to the West and enjoyed a resurgence in decorative appeal.

Perfect For:

✔️ Collectors of Chinese cloisonné or Asian antiques
✔️ Interior decorators seeking impactful symmetrical accents
✔️ Symbolic gifts representing harmony, prosperity, and beauty
✔️ Display in entryways, mantels, bookshelves, or curio cabinets

This elegant and rare pair of cloisonné vases is a timeless addition to any collection or interior. Their rich palette, mirrored design, and fine craftsmanship make them a standout choice for both seasoned collectors and new admirers of Asian art.
