About the Item

This exquisite matching pair of antique Chinese export blue and white cloisonné covered general jars is a fine example of the intricate artistry and craftsmanship of traditional Chinese decorative arts. Crafted in the elegant baluster form, these jars exemplify the refined aesthetic and technical mastery of cloisonné enamel work, a technique that involves creating compartments (cloisons) on metal objects with thin wires and filling these compartments with enamel of various colors. The exterior of each jar is adorned with a sophisticated blue and white design, featuring a ruyi head border along the shoulder—a symbol of good luck and protection in Chinese culture. Below this, the body of the jars is elegantly decorated with stylized scrolling vines and blossoms, a motif that evokes the beauty of nature and the traditional Chinese appreciation for floral symbolism. This design not only showcases the skill involved in cloisonné work but also reflects the timeless appeal of blue and white porcelain, which has been highly prized in both domestic and export markets for centuries. The interior and foot ring of the jars are enameled in a serene powder blue, providing a subtle contrast to the more intricate exterior design. This choice of color for the interior adds a layer of depth and sophistication to the pieces, enhancing their visual appeal. Completing the presentation of these magnificent jars are two old carved wood stands. These stands not only serve to elevate the jars, making them a focal point of any display, but also add to the overall aesthetic with their intricate carvings, further highlighting the jars' beauty and craftsmanship. Together, this pair of jars are remarkable examples of Chinese export cloisonné, combining traditional motifs with the exquisite technique to create pieces that are both decorative and symbolic. They would be a prestigious addition to any collection of Chinese antiques, admired for their beauty, history, and artistry. Size: H: 9", D: 5" circa 1920, early 20th Century
