Vintage Chinese Cloisonné Enamel Floral Beaker Vase (c. 1920s–1950s)
Add a vibrant pop of history to your collection with this striking Chinese cloisonné enamel beaker vase, dating from the Republic Period to the mid-20th century. Crafted on a brass body, it features an intricate leiwen (thunder/key fret) wire pattern set against a beautiful light-turquoise background, beautifully contrasting with a colorful, hand-detailed floral motif and a deep blue lappet border along the base. The underside reveals a classic period-accurate textured blue counter-enamel finish, historically applied to protect the metal structure during the high-heat firing process. A wonderful, authentic export-era piece, this vase showcases the timeless appeal of traditional Chinese metalwork and makes for an eye-catching accent on any shelf or mantel.
