Subject:Green/White Cloisonne Vase
Posted By: Bokaba Sun, May 28, 2017 IP: 2605:e000:af16:3b00:
Hi Beadiste,

What are your thoughts on this vase? It looks rougher and grittier than most modern cloisonne and is marked CHINA. Can you tell anything from the pattern? I would say early 20th Century, what do you think?

Thank you

Bokaba

These two-tone pieces are some of my favorites, as they can be linked to a series of photographs by Hedda Morrison of a Chinese cloisonne workshop, likely from the early 1930s.

I love the expression on the face of the master artist doing the wirework. The graceful designs on these pieces, simple though they are, cover the surface without having to use all those little background clouds and spirals to keep the enamel in place. And they appear to be done free-hand, without using a paper template - perhaps the artist sketched them in in ink first directly onto the copper? Nonetheless requires a talent for drawing, practice in composition and motifs.

Thanks again Beadiste. You are truly an expert on cloisonne. I am a fan of the two tone palette here. I think some of these Republic pieces give the 18th Century a run for the money.
