About the Item

Chinese hardstone and cloisonné enamel flower tree model Chinese, 20th Century Height 54cm, width 42cm, depth 39cm Depicting a basket filled with a lavish floral composition, this charming objet d’art was crafted in 20th century China. A central tree trunk extends upwards from which further, smaller branches are growing. These terminate with delicate hardstone flower models. The flowers are separated into types, each one crafted from a different type of hardstone including jade, rose quartz, and carnelian. Bright coloured beads are used for the stigmas. Interspersed among the flowers are variously sized leaves of a darker hue. The basket is executed using the very complex and time-consuming technique of cloisonne enamelling. The bulbous body is adorned with green, white, pink, and red floral and scrolling motifs, some relating to important symbols within Chinese culture. The wide lip of the vase is framed by a gold-coloured border, and both the inside and the outside are filled with various polychrome decorations, all in keeping with the design below. The angular gilt metal handle extends above the floral composition. The delicate flower model would act as a superb table centrepiece.

Chinese Hardstone Flower Model in a Cloisonné Enamel Flowerpot
Located in London, GB
Chinese hardstone flower model in a cloisonné enamel flowerpot Chinese, 20th Century Height 18cm, width 11cm, depth 11cm This intricate flower model combines super cloisonné enamelling with several carved semi-precious stones, making it a highly collectable object. A metal trunk is set within the planter, treated with resin to evoke the natural texture of the bark. The trompe l’oeil illusion is continued via the branches, which are comprised of wire wrapped with brown thread. The branches are capped with a number of nephrite leaves and hardstone blooms, which contrast dark green shades with light red and pink flowers. The petals are carved from carnelian, rose quartz, and jade, and these hardstones can connote symbolic symbolism such as strength and healing. Each bloom is centred by a beaded stigma, the bright colours of which stand out against the hardstones. The cloisonné enamel planter...
