About the Item
This cylindrical cloisonné vessel is made with a brass body filled with turquoise-toned enamels that are fired to create a vivid, multi-colored surface. The exterior is densely decorated with lotus motifs and various floral patterns, accompanied by traditional auspicious designs that give the piece a rich yet balanced appearance.
The enamel’s texture and sheen, along with the natural oxidation on the metal surfaces, reflect the aging typically seen in older cloisonné pieces. Overall, its style and color palette are consistent with the northern cloisonné tradition from the Ming to the Qing dynasty.
Period: Ming-Qing Dynasty
Type: Vase
Medium: Cloisonné Enamel
Provenance: The piece was acquired in Japanese Gallery in the year mid-2000.
Reference : THE MET - Accession Number: 29.110.37
* Cloisonné Enamel
Cloisonné enamel is created by forming compartments on a metal body and filling them with colored enamels that are fired to produce a glossy, durable surface. In assessing such pieces, key factors include the thickness and consistency of the metal wires, the depth and clarity of the enamel colors, the texture and sheen of the surface, and signs of natural oxidation or aging on the metal. These features help determine both the period of manufacture and the level of craftsmanship.
In addition, the arrangement of motifs, overall proportion, base finishing, and color composition are essential for identifying the production region and stylistic lineage. Northern cloisonné typically shows deeper tones and more balanced, formal layouts, while southern cloisonné tends to favor brighter palettes and more decorative designs. Evaluating these elements collectively is central to determining authenticity, quality, and dating in cloisonné enamel works.
