AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Refined and elegant pair of Chinese vases with lids (also known as ginger jars or potiche), entirely handmade using the intricate cloisonné enamel technique on a metal alloy base (brass/copper). The vases feature a globular body covered with a luminous emerald-green enamel, finely decorated with large peonies shaded in pink, white, and yellow. In Asian culture, the peony is a symbol of prosperity, honor, and good fortune. The top and the lid are adorned with meticulous multicolored geometric and floral motifs in a classic style. The interior of the vases and the lower part of the lid display the classic turquoise blue glaze, typical of traditional workmanship.
The major added value of this lot is its complete documentary record, attesting to its exact historicity:
Origin Certificate (Original Chinese Origin Certificate of the era): Issued by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) CCPIT Certificate of Origin, bearing the date 12 November 1977 (and a handwritten note 5-12-78). The document attests the official export by the Guangdong branch.
Italian Origin Certificate: Original fabric tag coordinated with a metal eyelet seal, used at the time of import into Italy in the late 1970s to guarantee its provenance from the era.
