Antique Chinese Export Collectible Miniature Cloisonne Vase (2):
$9.99

This is an antique and very collectible miniature cloisonne vase. I have another very similar one listed, but they are not exactly the same, either in the colors or the shape. The colors of the enamel are greens and blues and burgundy, with some pinks, white and turquoise blue. This one has more burgundy, while the other one I have listed has more pinks. One can tell that this one is old because of the delicate variations in the color of the enamel, the high relief and generally the delicate workmanship. Later pieces are often made with less care. The background is gold. The metal is most likely made of brass, though I think the golden parts are gold plated, but not sure about that.
Condition: Very good for an antique item of these characteristics. Around the middle part, it seems that there are tiny bits of enamel missing, but this is really hard to see, and more difficult yet to show in a picture.
Please check the pictures carefully, as I do not accept returns.
It measures approximately 5 cm tall (approximately 2 inches), a bit over 3 cms (about 1.25 inches) at the widest point.
It was found at an antiques market in Spain.Shipping can be combined if you buy more than 1 item.
