2 Vintage Chinese Cloisonne Enamel Plaques with Stands The Dragon and Phoenix

Posted by admin | Categories vintage | Tagged chinese, cloisonne, dragon, enamel, phoenix, plaques, stands, vintage

Up for your consideration a couple of Vintage Chinese Cloisonne Enamel Plaques with Wooden Stands – The Dragon and The Phoenix. The phoenix and dragon are often paired. The dragon representing the emperor and yang while the phoenix the empress and yin. And so the dragon and phoenix together represent the harmony of a married couple. To use the English name “Phoenix” is rather misleading as there is little in common with the Egyptian mythical bird. There is no legend in China about reincarnation from ashes. In China the phoenix was a wind god. The phoenix alone is a symbol of joy and peace, it heralds the coming of auspicious days just like the Qilin. The Manchu conquest was apparently heralded by the appearance in Henan of a phoenix. Dragons in China are not the fire-breathing, evil monsters that they are portrayed elsewhere in the world. Maybe a different word should have been used to distinguish the Chinese version of these mythological creatures. The Chinese dragon is imperious, powerful but good-natured. People need to seek the favor of dragons and keep them on their side. It is a strong yang animal (male, sun and active). Is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects with colored material held in place or separated by metal strips or wire, normally of gold. In recent centuries, vitreous enamel has been used, but inlays of cut gemstones, glass and other materials were also used during older periods; indeed cloisonné enamel very probably began as an easier imitation of cloisonné work using gems. The resulting objects can also be called cloisonné. Please note: I will accept any reasonable offer. Please check out all of the pictures and thank you for watching.

Fine PAIR Antique Old Chinese Cloisonne Vases Stands Dragons & Flaming Pearl

Posted by admin | Categories fine | Tagged antique, chinese, cloisonne, dragons, fine, flaming, pair, pearl, stands, vases

The cloisonne work is very elaborate and required great skill to craft. The vases are quite colorful in blue, yellow, red, pink, greens and white. There are two large flying dragons chasing a flaming pearl over water around the widest part of the vase. The ground is a lovely blue enamel with clouds created by gold cloisonne wires. There is a traditional Chinese border at the base, top and above the flying dragons. The design above the dragons is full of colorful Chinese motifs including acanthus leaves and stylized lotus blooms with curling leaves. The bottom and top rim of the vases are metal with an aged patina. Each vase has “CHINA” incised in the metal on the bottom. I date the vases to late Qing (1880 – 1911) or early Republic (1912 – 1949). The stands are dark reddish brown in color with three feet and are unmarked. They are a great fit for the vases and display the pair beautifully. Dragons are greatly admired in Chinese culture and thought to rule from the heavens over all animals. But dragons are thought to be a little greedy. They are often depicted in Chinese art as chasing a flaming pearl. They never catch it! Dragons are a favorite subject in antique Chinese cloisonne and highly sought by collectors. It is great to have a matching pair of Chinese cloisonné vases with dragons. They are difficult to find in such nice condition. The pair of dragon vases are in excellent condition for their age with age appropriate wear. There is a small dent on the body of one dragon but there is no enamel loss. The metal on the bottom has tarnish and spots. Otherwise there are no chips, cracks, dents, damages or repairs to the two vases. The stands are in excellent vintage condition with expected wear. There could be surface scratches and rubs. There are no cracks, missing pieces, repairs or damage to the stands. Approximate Dimensions – One Dragon Vase. Weight: 181.2 grams. Width across (widest point): 3 3/8. Diameter of top: 1 1/2. Diameter of base: 1 7/8. Dimensions – One Old Stand. Weight of stand: 25.6 grams. Height of stands: 3/4. Display area: 1 7/8. Matching pairs of antique Chinese cloisonné dragon vases are more difficult to find than single vases. The design on these dragon vases is more elaborate than most vases. These fine antique cloisonne vases & old stands will make a wonderful addition to a collection of Asian arts & antiques.
