Description:
Presenting a magnificent and incredibly vibrant vintage Chinese cloisonné enamel vase. Crafted on a solid copper body and featuring heavy gilding, this piece showcases the pinnacle of traditional Chinese enamel work (Jingtai Lan).

The vase is set against a striking, bright imperial yellow ground intricately patterned with golden clouds. The main body is richly decorated with large, blooming peonies in shades of purple, pink, and red—the traditional Chinese symbol of wealth, honor, and prosperity. Large, detailed green leaves and grey scholar's rocks anchor the floral design, while a beautifully rendered butterfly flutters above the blooms.

The neck features a continuous floral scroll band, and the base is decorated with classic floral lappets. The vase is finished with thick, polished gilt bronze rims, and both the interior and the flat base are fully coated in a vibrant turquoise (Robin's Egg) glaze.

Condition: Excellent condition. The enamel is vibrant with no visible missing pieces, chips, or cracks. The gilt bronze rims are bright and intact. Minor surface wear and natural patina are consistent with age and gentle display. Please refer to all photos for exact condition. See less
