Subject:Pair of dragon vases

Subject:Modern Chinese Cloisonne
Posted By: beadiste Thu, Jun 01, 2017 Cloisonne wirework and enameling are all done by hand, even for matching patterns. It is a very time-consuming art that usually requires a workshop of several people to accomplish. Designs can be copied - often to make a pair, as in your vases - but because of the handwork required, even carefully made copies if examined closely are different from one another. |

Subject:Unusual and attractive
Posted By: beadiste Mon, Jun 05, 2017 The gray/purple color scheme is attractive and uncommon, I think, and fits in with more decor environments than a multicolor piece. Many monochrome pieces in greens, blues, purples, and reds were made, but your gray/lavender pair is unusual. The monochrome color scheme of blended enamels seems to have been an invention, perhaps at the direction of Qian Meihua, of the Beijing Enamel Factory in the 1960s-70s, and was popular into the 1990s. |

Posted By: Bokaba Thu, Jun 01, 2017 Beadiste is the expert on cloisonne, but they look pretty modern to me. |
