This is a stunning pair of vintage Korean cloisonné-style brass vases, featuring a high-gloss black enamel finish. Each vase is meticulously hand-decorated with an intricate Mother of Pearl (nacre) inlay depicting a traditional "Bird and Flower" motif. The iridescent shell work captures a beautiful range of colors when caught in the light, contrasting elegantly against the deep black ground.
Standing at 9 inches tall with a 4-inch diameter, these vases possess a balanced, classical silhouette with flared rims and tiered shoulders. The visible brass at the mouth and base adds a warm, metallic accent to the overall aesthetic. They are in excellent vintage condition with no major chips, cracks, or significant wear to the enamel or inlay. These pieces serve as a sophisticated addition to any Chinoiserie, Hollywood Regency, or Mid-Century Modern collection.

The mother-of-pearl inlay remains vibrant, secure, and highly iridescent across both pieces. The brass rims and bases show a light, honest patina but remain structurally sound. Note on Enamel: The vase on the right features some minor 'roughness' or pin-point pitting in the black enamel. This is a common manufacturing characteristic of mid-century Korean enamel-over-brass ware, resulting from the hand-firing process rather than post-production damage or impact. There are no chips, cracks, or significant losses to the enamel or inlay. Please see the detailed macro photos for a close-up of the surface texture." less
