AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of Chinese Enameled Decorative Vases on Wooden Bases — China, 1970s — In excellent condition – No reserve.

A refined pair of Chinese enamelled decorative vases from the 1970s, mounted on their original turned wooden bases. The vases display rich polychrome enamel work in a classic cloisonné-inspired aesthetic, featuring intricate floral and foliate motifs set against a deep, lustrous ground. The layering of colours, precision of the lines, and depth of the glaze demonstrate skilled craftsmanship characteristic of high-quality Chinese enamel production from this period.

The contrast between the glossy enamel surfaces and the warm patina of the wooden bases creates an elegant material dialogue, making this pair highly versatile for both traditional and modern interiors. They function beautifully as display objects on sideboards, consoles, mantelpieces, or inside a vitrined cabinet.

In the 1970s, Chinese workshops revived and reinterpreted classical cloisonné techniques for the international collector market, combining historical decorative traditions with contemporary taste. As a matching pair, these vases are particularly desirable for symmetrical display and represent a fine example of mid-century Chinese decorative artistry.

In excellent vintage condition with minimal signs of age.
No cracks, no chips, and no structural damage.
Professionally cleaned; vibrant colours and intact enamel surfaces.
Wooden bases are stable with a warm patina.

Dimensions (each)
18 x 9.5 x 9.5 cm (h × w × d)
