Make a grand statement with this spectacular pair of monumental cloisonné enamel vases. A true tour de force of traditional craftsmanship, these impressive vessels feature a vibrant, golden-yellow enamel background heavily decorated with intricate scrolling lotus vines and vibrant pink and green dragon motifs (or stylized mythical beasts) around the lower body.
The vases are adorned with prominent, gilded brass appliques, including elaborate animal mask (taotie) handles on the neck and matching masks on the shoulder. The flared necks are decorated with colorful lotus blooms. The pieces are finished with bright gold-tone rims and a matching flared pedestal base. Standing at over 15 inches tall and weighing over 22 pounds combined, this large-scale pair is perfect for flanking a fireplace, anchoring a formal dining room, or adding a touch of exotic luxury to a grand entryway.

Height: 15.7 inches (40 cm)
Diameter: 9.8 inches (25 cm)
Total Weight (for the pair): Approx. 22.7 lbs (20.6 Jin / approx. 10.3 kg)
