Description:
Presenting a truly monumental and impressive pair of vintage Chinese cloisonné enamel covered ginger jars (General's jars). Crafted on heavy solid copper bodies with intricate hand-wired filigree (掐丝), they feature the iconic, highly auspicious "Dragon and Phoenix" (龙凤呈祥) motif.
The jars are set against a beautiful, soft sky-blue ground, densely decorated with swirling, multi-colored ruyi clouds. One jar features a majestic, reddish-brown and yellow scaled dragon reaching for a flaming pearl, while the other depicts a vibrant, multi-colored phoenix in flight. The bases are adorned with classic, stylized "sea water" (haishui) wave patterns. The domed lids are topped with polished bronze pointed finials and feature a matching floral and cloud pattern. The bases are oxidized bronze and bear cast square seals.
Condition: Excellent condition. The enamel is vibrant and intact with no visible missing pieces, chips, or cracks. The 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.
