Description:
Presenting a monumental Chinese cloisonné vase, masterfully crafted from solid bronze and finished in vibrant enamel. This impressive piece features a classic baluster form with a waisted neck and flared gilded rim, flanked by massive, highly detailed gilt bronze dragon-form handles. The body is adorned on a turquoise ground with a dynamic depiction of white doves in flight — the traditional "Peace Dove" motif — amidst colorful lotus and peony blossoms and stylized clouds, all above a band of lappets at the base. Topped with a matching domed lid crowned by a gilt bronze mythical beast finial, this vase is perfect as a striking focal point on a console, mantel, or as part of an Asian art collection. See less
