Pair of Antique Chinese Cloisonné Vases
About the Item
A pair of Chinese enamel vases with elephant head handles. Decorated with a cloisonné phoenix and flower motif. Cloisonné is an ancient technique used to decorate metalwork with inlays of enamel. By soldering thin wires of silver, gold or copper to the base metal, different compartments can be separated. These compartments are then filled with enamel and buffed back. This process is repeated several times to achieve rich coloring and a smooth finish. Seal on the bottom is a single character: Sei, meaning worked with much detail and pure or excellent.

- Paired Chinese Vases Cloisonne, 1960sLocated in Bastogne, BECloisonne is a technique for creating cloisonné enamel on metal objects. The name of the technique appeared in France and comes from the word "cloisonné" (cloisonne), which translates as "separated by a partition." The process of making cloisonne enamels is very laborious. To begin with, a metal base is prepared, which is ground. Then gold and silver wire or thin plates are soldered onto it, and the resulting recesses are filled with special colored vitreous enamel and fired in a kiln. After the product has cooled, it is polished to give shine. Gorgeous black vases with floral print made in the Cloisone technique in the first half of the 20th century. They will not leave anyone indifferent. Handmade antique vases will serve as an excellent gift for a connoisseur of art. Antique Couple...Category
