Cloisonné 珐琅彩 - Cup (5) - Dragon & Cloud Motif - Copper - Wine Cup

A vintage Chinese cloisonné wine cup, beautifully crafted using the traditional cloisonné enamel technique (Jingtailan). Cloisonné is a decorative art in which colored enamel is applied within delicate metal partitions on a copper or metal base and fired at high temperatures to achieve its brilliant finish. In China, this technique is widely known as Jingtailan, celebrated for its vivid colors and intricate craftsmanship.

The exterior of the cup is decorated with an auspicious dragon and swirling cloud motif, symbols traditionally associated with power, prosperity, protection, and good fortune in Chinese culture. The finely detailed enamel work and metallic accents reflect the elegance of traditional Chinese decorative arts. Originally intended as a wine or ceremonial cup, this piece is also a wonderful collectible for enthusiasts of Asian antiques, cloisonné ware, and traditional Chinese craftsmanship.
