    By Lao Tian Li
    Located in Grythyttan, SE
    This is an exquisite pair of cloisonne baluster lamps crafted from polychrome enameled metal, featuring captivating yellow dragons in the Famille Noire style. Each lamp is meticulously adorned with yellow dragons chasing a flaming pearl against a striking black background, creating a visually stunning focal point. These lamps are repurposed from a pair of Chinese cloisonné vases, showcasing their versatility as table lamps. The background, adorned with clouds, enhances the overall aesthetic, while the beautiful yellow double dragons contribute to the timeless allure of this piece. This early example of cloisonné artistry boasts a combination of vibrant hues of white, blue, and yellow that stand out against the black background. Crafted from metal (copper?) and enamel, this piece hails from early 20th-century China, embodying a unique blend of cultural richness and artistic finesse. The black ground cloisonné vase, converted into a lamp, showcases yellow-scaled dragons facing a flaming pearl amidst decorative bands featuring ruyi clouds, flowers, lappets, and blooming peonies. This sophisticated piece not only captures the essence of Chinese craftsmanship but also serves as a testament to the enduring beauty of cloisonné art.
