Vase (2) - Enamel, Brass, Wood

This is a pair of Chinese bowls made with the traditional cloisonné technique, an ancient form of decorative art. Their appeal lies in the detailed floral motifs and the rich palette of colors, which make them objects of strong visual impact and a testament to refined artisanal skill.

The bowls are metal with enamel applied via the cloisonné technique, which uses thin metal wires to separate the different color areas. The rims and the lids’ knobs are finished in gold-toned metal, while the interior features a striking turquoise enamel in contrast. Each bowl is accompanied by a dark carved wooden base that enhances its display.

The bowls are in good overall condition, consistent with their age and prior use. The enamel finish is intact and preserves its chromatic vibrancy, showing character and the patina of time. The wooden supports are structurally solid and complete the objects’ aesthetics.

Thanks to their compact size and decorative value, these bowls are ideal for enriching a console, a bookshelf, or a display cabinet. They integrate perfectly into classic, eclectic, or Asian-inspired interiors, adding a touch of color and history.
