Description from the seller

Pair of Chinese Vases with Dragons and Pierced Decorations – 20th Century

Description
Suggestive pair of decorative Chinese vases made of composite/resin worked material, inspired by the tradition of Chinese carved lacquer known as “cinnabrite.”
The vases feature a rich ornamental display with: dragons in relief, floral motifs and pierced scrolls, background incised with a wavy motif, elegant purple/plum coloration with dark shades.
The ensemble evokes the celebrated Oriental carved lacquers, reinterpreted in a decorative key for the 20th-century market. On the base there is a mark in Chinese characters within a square cartouche.
Objects of strong aesthetic impact, ideal for eclectic interiors, Oriental collections or chinoiserie-style furnishings.

Technical features
Type: pair of decorative vases
Origin: China
Period: second half of the 20th century
Material: worked composite/resin and pigmented
Decoration: dragons, floral motifs and pierced work
Color: purple/plum
Mark: present on the base

Dimensions: 12 x 23 cm; Weight: 2.2 kg

Conditions

Curiosity
The original “cinnabrite” is a precious Chinese technique obtained through numerous layers of natural lacquer carved. During the 20th century, many decorative reinterpretations were produced for the Western market, often made of resin or composite materials but inspired by imperial traditional motifs.
These pieces retain a strong ornamental charm thanks to the richness of the details and the distinctive color tone.
