Description from the seller

This cloisonné vase is stamped "Made in the Xuande period of the Da Ming Dynasty 大明宣徳年製."
The cloisonné vase is decorated with an intricate floral pattern.
The floral pattern is very detailed and the colors are beautiful, demonstrating the high level of craftsmanship of the time.

There are some air bubble-like holes and gaps throughout the vase, but there is no major damage and the details can be clearly seen.
Although there is some wear due to age, it is in very good condition for a vase that is approximately 150-200 years old.

The stamp on the base appears slightly raised.
However, it is unclear whether this was added later or is original to the vase's origin.
In any event, the vase is approximately 150-200 years old.

"Made in the Xuande period of the Da Ming Dynasty" is a false inscription carved on a bronze vessel made by imperial order in 1428, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty (1426-1435).
