This item is a vintage Cloisonné brass vase from China, dating back to around 1970. Standing about 7 inches tall and 4 inches wide, this piece carries colorful, detailed enamel floral decorations that make it pop with old-world charm. The craftsmanship is clear in the intricate designs swirling around the body of the vase, from delicate flowers to traditional Chinese motifs. Despite being over 50 years old, this vase is in near mint condition, almost as if it hasn’t seen the wear and tear of regular use, which is pretty special for a piece from that era. When you run your hand over it, you can feel the texture where the thin brass wires hold the vibrant enamel in place—a real testament to the time and skill poured into making it.
Cloisonné is an art form that has deep roots in Chinese history, going back hundreds of years. While this particular vase isn’t as old as the earliest examples, it’s still from a time when these decorative items were becoming popular as collectible pieces and home décor in the West. Each vase from this era is unique because the enamel is applied by hand within the little wire cells (cloisons) before firing—no two are exactly alike. You’d often find pieces like this on display in people’s living rooms, admired for their pops of color and the little touch of the exotic they brought to everyday life. Being from 1970 makes it vintage by collector standards, and finding one in such pristine shape is getting rarer as time goes on. This vase is not just a piece of décor but a genuine slice of history and skilled artistry in metal and enamel.
