Pair of 19th-Century Cloisonné Vases - Blue 8"

These stunning 19th-century Chinese cloisonné vases highlight the intricate craftsmanship of a centuries-old technique.

Cloisonné involves applying thin metal wires to create compartments or "cloisons" on a metal base. These compartments are filled with vibrant enamel paste and then fired to create a smooth and polished surface. The result is a radiant finish with intricate patterns and a jewel-like quality.

The floral motif on these vases is a fine example of this technique with delicate chrysanthemums and hibiscus depicted in a rich palette of blue red green and gold. The intricate geometric patterns in the background enhance the depth and elegance of the design.

A perfect addition to any antique collection these vases capture the beauty and precision of traditional Chinese artistry.
