Description:
Decorate your space with this vibrant and charming matching pair of vintage Chinese cloisonné enamel covered jars (General's jars / Jiangjun Guan). Crafted on solid copper bodies with intricate hand-wired filigree, they feature a classic, highly decorative "Lotus Scroll" motif.

The jars are set against a striking, deep red ground and are densely decorated with blooming lotus flowers in pastel pinks, pale yellows, and creams, intertwined with scrolling vines and leaves in green, blue, and yellow. The domed lids feature an elegant bronze pointed finial (acorn shape) and a matching floral band, finished with polished bronze rims and bases. The underside of each jar is oxidized bronze and bears a stamped Chinese character mark "宣" (Xuan), a traditional reverence mark.

Condition: Excellent condition. The red enamel is vibrant with no visible missing pieces, chips, or cracks. The copper/bronze rims, finials, and bases show a natural, aged patina and slight oxidation consistent with vintage age and gentle display. Please refer to all photos for exact condition.

Please Note: This listing is for the pair of jars. They make an excellent, bold statement piece for a console table, bookshelf, or as a focal point in an Asian-inspired interior. See less
