Description:
Presenting a magnificent and beautifully detailed vintage Chinese painted enamel vase (copper body). Crafted with the fine precision of traditional "Yangcai" (Foreign Colors) enameling, this vase features a classic, elegant silhouette with a slender neck and a gracefully rounded body.

The vase is set against a vibrant imperial yellow ground, intricately painted with continuous scrolling clouds and pink peony blossoms in shades of pink, green, and red. The main body features the highly auspicious "Dragon and Phoenix" (龙凤呈祥) motif. One side depicts a majestic, blue-scaled dragon reaching for a flaming pearl, while the other shows a vibrant, multi-colored phoenix in flight.

The interiors and flat bases are finished with a rich, bright turquoise (Robin's Egg) enamel. The base bears a blue square seal reading "乾隆年制" (Made in the Qianlong Period), a traditional reverence mark. The rim and foot are finished with polished metal bands.

Condition: Excellent condition. The enamel is vibrant and glossy with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The painted details are crisp and beautifully preserved. Minor surface wear consistent with age and display. Please refer to all photos for exact condition.

This elegant piece makes a stunning focal point for a console table, bookshelf, or as a refined accent in any Asian-inspired or traditional interior. See less
