Antique Ming Dynasty Large Bronze Cloisonné Vase with Dragon Handles.
This extraordinary Antique Vase, from the Ming Dynasty, is a stunning example of traditional Chinese cloisonné artistry.

The body of the vase is adorned with a beautifully intricate floral motif set against a rich blue ground with delicate green leaves throughout. Vibrant red, white and blue flowers punctuate the copper enamel cloisonne design, creating a striking contrast that enhances the bronze vase's visual depth and complexity.
