History
This cloisonné vase was likely produced in China during the mid to late 20th century. The piece features traditional Chinese floral motifs with pink peonies and red buds against a white background with gilt wire cell work, characteristic of the cloisonné technique where metal wires are used to separate colored enamel sections. Cloisonné vases of this type became popular export items during the mid-20th century as decorative pieces for Western markets. Collectors of Asian decorative arts and cloisonné work particularly value these pieces for their intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors. The small size (approximately 5 inches tall) makes it an attractive display piece for collectors of miniature decorative arts.
