Stunning pair of Chinese champlevé enamel vases
This is a matched pair of Chinese champlevé vases on wooden footed plinths dating from the early to mid 20th Century in mint condition.
These are highly decorative garlic-neck vases with a floral design comprising wide bands of trailing blue flowers separated by narrow bands of repeating floral-inspired motifs. Though identical in shape and size the two vases vary slightly in design and colour. The quality of the workmanship is of the highest order. Whether they started life together or have found each other at some later point we are unable to know. The last picture shows them in relation to a standard drinks can.
Champlevé is a technique in which the troughs are cast into the metal body and filled with vitreous enamel. It is distinguished from the technique of cloisonné enamel in which the troughs are created by soldering flat metal strips to the surface of the object. These vases are a particularly fine example of champlevé work.
Dimensions: 29 cm height (including stands) by 15 cm in diameter
Weight:
Vase 1: 947g inc. stand' 863g without stand
Vase 2: 923g inc. stand, 851g without stand
Condition: Perfect with no bruising or loss of enamel
Postage & packing: £10 within the UK. Please contact us for a postal quote for overseas destinations.
