Description:
Decorate your space with this elegant and serene matching pair of vintage Chinese cloisonné enamel vases (Appreciation Vases). Crafted on solid copper bodies with intricate hand-wired filigree (掐丝), they feature the highly auspicious "Crane and Clouds" (云鹤) motif.

Set against a deep, royal cobalt blue ground, the vases are densely decorated with swirling, multi-colored ruyi clouds in pastel yellows, pinks, and light blues, interspersed with graceful flying cranes—symbols of longevity, wisdom, and peace. The vases have an elegant, slender silhouette with a flaring rim, a narrow neck, and a gently rounded body that tapers to a splayed base. The mouth rim, neck, and foot are decorated with yellow and red lappet patterns, finished with polished copper rims. The interior is fully lined in polished copper, and the underside bears a recessed square seal with a traditional mark.

Condition: Excellent condition. The enamel is vibrant with no visible missing pieces, chips, or cracks. The copper/bronze rims 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 vases. They make an elegant, graceful statement piece for a console table, bookshelf, or as a refined accent in an Asian-inspired or eclectic interior. See less
