Pair Early 20th-century Chinese Cloisonné Enamel Prunus & Bird Vases

This is a beautiful quality pair of early 20th-century Chinese cloisonné enamel vases, dating to approximately circa 1930, and presented upon their original-style carved hardwood stands. The elegant baluster-shaped vases are particularly attractive examples, decorated throughout with an unusually intricate cream-gold ground formed from countless scrolling cloisonné wires, creating a wonderfully rich and detailed surface. Each vase is beautifully decorated with flowering prunus branches, picked out in shades of pink, mauve and burgundy, with delicate enamelled birds in flight appearing amongst the blossom. Further decorative detail includes pale green enamel around the lower sections, colourful scrolling borders beneath the necks and gilt-metal rims and foot rims. The undersides are finished in a rich turquoise-blue enamel, typical of Chinese cloisonné work, while the accompanying hardwood stands are finely pierced and carved with traditional scrolling decoration. Attributes: Chinese Cloisonné enamel Early 20th century Circa 1900–1930 Late Qing / Early Republic period Complete with carved hardwood stands There is a very small, shallow indentation to one of the vases, which is extremely discreet and only noticeable upon close inspection. The carved hardwood stands display age-related wear and minor imperfections. ^^ Fast & Free UK Delivery Included^^ *A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) will be provided by artsonline with this piece* Delivery Artsonline UK ships worldwide daily, using only fully insured, priority, and fully tracked delivery services.
