DESCRIPTION
A small Chinese cloisonne enamel vase of compressed rounded form, decorated with colorful floral and ruyi-inspired motifs against a dark ground filled with fine scrolling wirework. Turquoise, green, yellow, pink, white and red enamels provide a lively contrast, with gilt-tone metal rims framing the neck and foot. The body has an irregular, uneven profile and displays the character of an aged decorative object. Its miniature proportions and dense enamel decoration give the piece considerable visual interest.
COLLECTOR’S NOTE
Miniature cloisonne vessels reproduce traditional Chinese decorative forms on a compact scale. The floral, scrolling and ruyi-inspired ornament seen here reflects established auspicious decorative vocabulary that continued to be used on Chinese enamel wares during the 20th century.
