Description :
A pair of mid-20th century Chinese cloisonné enamel vases, each crafted in baluster form with flared necks, gilt rims, and bases. The bodies are adorned with intricate floral motifs rendered in rich tones of red, gold, green, and black, outlined in fine wirework and filled with enamel for a dense, textured finish. The undersides feature turquoise enamel; one vase bears a “ZI JIN CHENG” (Forbidden City) mark, affirming Chinese origin. These decorative vases exemplify traditional cloisonné craftsmanship and are ideal for display in a curated interior or collection of Asian decorative arts. Dimensions: 10.5 in. H x 5 in. W each “ZI JIN CHENG” Mark: This translates to “Forbidden City,” the imperial palace of China for nearly 500 years. Items bearing this mark often reference traditional craftsmanship associated with Beijing workshops, especially those producing decorative arts for export in the mid-20th century. Cloisonné Technique: Originating in the Yuan Dynasty and refined during the Ming and Qing periods, cloisonné involves applying enamel into wire cells (cloisons) on a metal body. The turquoise enamel base is a hallmark of traditional Chinese cloisonné, often referred to as “Ming Blue”Historical & Cultural Context
