Subject:Cloisonne Lotus Design Question
Posted By: beadiste Tue, Sep 02, 2014 IP: 24.237.19.45
A few days ago I posted pics of two cloisonne vases, just for purposes of general interest.
But today, while browsing through plates from an 1867 book, Examples of Chinese Ornament by Owen Jones, I noticed how different the lotus pattern seems to be from cloisonne works made during the Republic Period - compare the base, center, and top of the flower.
So now I'm curious - could the yellow vase perhaps be from the late 19th century?
