About the Item
A rare antique iron vase with champlevé enamel decoration, dating to the Qing dynasty, 19th century (possibly earlier). The vase is of baluster form with a short cylindrical neck and everted rim. The upper body is decorated with a continuous floral scroll band, the recesses filled with brightly colored opaques enamels in turquoise, cobalt blue, white, yellow and red. The surface is intentionally cast with a rough, stone-like texture, creating a striking contrast to the glossy enamel inlay.
The vase is cast in two sections with a visible horizontal seam, a feature typical of traditional Chinese iron casting. The mouth and base are left relatively rustic, further emphasizing the archaistic style.
Origin: China, Qing dynasty
Date: 19th century (possibly 18th century)
Material: Cast iron with champlevé enamel inlay
Height: 30 cm
Condition: Overall good antique condition; expected wear consistent with age. Some minor enamel losses and surface oxidation, adding character and authenticity.
Notes
Decorative iron vases with enamel inlay are rare compared to cloisonné on bronze, making this an unusual collector’s piece. The vivid enamels and archaistic casting style reflect Qing dynasty taste for reviving earlier forms in new materials.
