AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of cloisonné vases with peony floral decoration on a blue background.
Cloisonné is an ancient enamel-on-metal technique that reached its peak in China during the Ming and Qing dynasties (14th–20th centuries). These vases feature the distinctive peony motif, a symbol of prosperity and nobility in Chinese culture, created with the cloisonné technique, which uses thin metal wires to delineate color areas before glazing and firing.
These vases are particularly prized by collectors of Asian art and Oriental antiques for their refined technical execution and decorative value. The matching pair significantly increases their value compared with individual pieces, making them highly sought-after items for furnishing interiors in a classical style or for specialized collections of Chinese decorative arts. The floral motif and vivid colors give them a striking visual impact and bear witness to the craftsmanship of the Chinese tradition.
