About the Item
Pair of antique Japanese cloisonné enamel vases with French ormolu mounts
Japanese and French, Late 19th Century
Height 30.5cm, width 22cm, depth 17cm
Virtually identical in design, this exquisite pair of vases combines Japanese cloisonné enamel pieces with French ormolu mounts. The vases utilise a sky-blue ground, overlayed with charming ducks amongst flowers and foliage. The cloisonné enamelling is exceptional, contrasting the colourful flora and wildlife with the golden, eye-catching cloisons.
The vases are applied with ormolu mounts to the apex and base. Surmounting the vases are handled mounts, which feature pierced decoration and Greek key designs. The twin scrolling handles are each applied with a small figure in a conical hat. The flared bases feature similar pierced and meander decoration, and stand on stylised elephant feet.
These vases are a fantastic example of the combination pieces made in Europe during the 19th century, which embellished Eastern imported wares with Western-style additions. This pair synthesise the style of two different countries, creating fabulous cross-cultural pieces that are highly desirable.

Pair of very large Chinese cloisonné enamel vases with French ormolu mounts
Chinese and French, 20th century
Height 215cm, diameter 78cm
These superb vases bring together exceptional Chinese enamelling with ornate French ormolu mounts, combining the complex cloisonné technique with sumptuously detailed gilt-bronze additions.
The ovoid-form vases are applied with lavish natural designs on the main body, decorated with eye-catching birds and butterflies amongst flowers and shrubbery. The animal and foliate motifs are set on top of a cream ground with intricate geometric patterning that emphasises the elaborate design of the vases. The necks of the vases are similarly decorated with birds and greenery. The necks and feet also feature ornate geometric patterns that complement the natural colour palette of the main body, adding further intricacy to the enamelled designs.
Surmounting the vases is a pierced ormolu rim, which features acanthus-style and pineapple designs which complement the foliate imagery on the vases below. Each vase is mounted on four gilt-bronze feet cast in the shape of Chinese 'Foo' winged lions, combining impressive Chinese motifs with exceptional French craftsmanship.
Cross-cultural pieces like these vases were highly popular decorative wares in late 19th century Europe; likewise, this pair effortlessly synthesise the design styles of the East and the West into monumental items with ornate and colourful designs.
