Product Details

This striking antique Chinese cloisonné enamel on copper vase dates to approximately 1890-1920 and was later converted into a table lamp during the mid-20th century, when imported Asian decorative arts were commonly electrified for use as elegant household lighting. The vase showcases many hallmarks of late Qing to early Republic export cloisonné, including: * Rich cobalt blue enamel ground * Hand-laid brass cloisonné wirework * Stylized phoenix and floral motifs * Repeating geometric border decoration * Traditional scrolling foliage * Copper body with vibrant hand-applied enamels The vase is mounted on an ornate cast metal base and has been electrified with a single socket, creating a beautiful blend of antique craftsmanship and vintage functionality. Condition: Working vintage lamp. There is an area of enamel loss on the shoulder of the vase, along with light age-related wear consistent with its age and use. The cloisonné remains vibrant and displays beautifully.
