Description:
Presenting a beautiful and heavy-weight matching pair of vintage Chinese cloisonné enamel vases. Crafted on solid copper bodies with intricate hand-wired filigree (掐丝), they feature the classic, highly auspicious "Dragon and Phoenix" (龙凤呈祥) motif.

The vases are set against a striking, deep coral-red ground, densely decorated with swirling, multi-colored ruyi clouds. One vase features a majestic, blue-scaled dragon soaring through the clouds, while the other depicts a vibrant, multi-colored phoenix in flight.

The vases have a classic, elegant silhouette with a flaring rim, slender neck, and a rounded, elongated body. The bases are oxidized bronze and bear square seals reading "乾隆年制" (Made in the Qianlong Period), a traditional reverence mark.

Condition: Excellent condition. The enamel is vibrant and intact 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 a bold, striking statement piece for a console table, bookshelf, or as a focal point in an Asian-inspired interior. See less
