This vintage hand-painted enamelled cloisonné brass vase, German floral design, dates to about 1970. It stands 6 inches tall, about 5.5 inches wide, and roughly 2 inches deep, with a round shoulder and short neck that frame the warm brass body. Flowers in earthy reds sit within fine raised lines, so the pattern catches light without being flashy. The rim and interior show a soft patina in line with its age of about 56 years. Condition is near mint: crisp enamel, no chips noticed, and just minor shelf rubs, ready to sit on a mantel, credenza, or small side table.

Pieces like this came from West German workshops in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when cloisonné-on-brass giftware was made for export and department stores. Cloisonné is created by setting thin brass wires to outline the design, filling the cells with colored glass enamel, firing, and then polishing smooth. Floral themes echoed the period’s Art Nouveau revival. Many were unmarked or had paper labels that vanished, so an unbranded example is common. Near mint survivors aren’t everywhere, and small sizes are popular with collectors, so it’s a genuinely vintage, somewhat scarce piece. Care is easy: dust gently, avoid soaking, and skip harsh cleaners.
