Chinese Hardstone Flower Model in a Cloisonné Enamel Flowerpot

About the Item

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 mirrors the natural theme, decorated with vibrant floral designs that are set on a pale blue ground. Several gold touches, which can be seen on the feet, lip, and cloisons themselves, add an element of luxury to the piece. The upper rim is also decorated with geometric patterns. This charming object highlights the superb decorative pieces emerging from China in the 20th century.
