About the Item

Gorgous cloisonné enamel box, made in the 20th century in China. It has a simple structure, rectangular profile and a slightly domed lid; and is slightly raised from the ground by small legs in gilded brass as well as the profile of the entire box. The box is made of metal with brightly colored vitreous enamel inlaid. The lapis lazuli blue background is a characteristic shade of Chinese cloisonné pieces, especially from the Qing period and later. It also features stylized leaves and flowers, inspired by nature and important in Chinese culture, such as the lotus flower or peonies, which symbolize purity and wealth. Among this ornament, the figure of a butterfly stands out, which could symbolize love, longevity or transformation. The inside of the box has a beautiful jade green color. This box is from the beginning of the 20th century, inspired by the tradition of the oldest Chinese cloisonné. A beautiful piece for a special present!!! The cloisonné enameling technique has its origins in the 12th century BC, but it was during the Byzantine era that it acquired greater development. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the technique reached China and from there to Japan, where it had its greatest boom in the 19th century, especially thanks to the Universal Exhibitions.
