Description from the seller
Elegant and rare hexagonal vase (with six cut facets) in Canton enamel on a brass/copper alloy frame.
Each recessed main panel features an immaculate white background, delicately hand-painted with traditional naturalistic decor in the 'Flowers and Birds' style (Huanniao). Fine branches of blooming cherry or plum trees, on which perching passerine birds, as well as butterflies in flight and refined floral compositions, are depicted.
The tall neck and flared foot are set against a luminous turquoise background, contrasting with rich motifs of gilded scrollwork, lotus flowers and stylized peonies. The edges of the polygonal structure are outlined by bands of gilded brass, lending a beautiful geometric framework to the piece.

• Origin: China (Canton / Beijing Style)
• Era: Early 20th century (Republic Period, ca. 1910-1940)
• Technique: Enamel painted on copper/brass (Canton enamel)
• Height: 23 cm

Condition:
