| This tall baluster-form cloisonne urn from China is an artful presentation of the color blue--from tones of light powder through turquoise and violet to midnight. The blues are arranged on a white ground and sparked with touches of cinnabar red. Enameled on a brass base with brass wires, the blues portray scrolling foliage and flowers interspersed with classic Chinese repeat patterns (diaper). Starburst flowers and foliage encircle the widest part of the form. Stylized upright leaves march around the neck of the vase under a white border that contains a repeat pattern fashioned only from brass wire with no added color, which functions as negative space to bring order to the design. The outside rim is bordered with a background of turquoise studded with stylized flowers in three shades of blue with cinnabar centers. The inner surface of the flared top has a wide border of stylized flowers and scrolling on a white background. Both the recessed bottom and inside surfaces of the urn are coated in turquoise enamel. This very decorative vase, from the 1970s, is in excellent condition. The wood stand, carved with scrolling to match the cloisonne design, adds three inches to its height. Dimensions of vase including stand: height 23" (59 cm), diameter 12" (31 cm). | |||||||||||
