Subject:PLEASE HELP TO IDENTIFY AGE OF CHINESE CLOISSONE VASE
Posted By: Tue, Jun 19, 2012 IP: 124.187.231.58
A warm hello to all,
My friend has a brass?/bronze? cloissone vase, which is about 11 1/2 inches tall with 2 handles that appear to have been attached by rivets made by hand.
The handles had, sometime more recently been soldered at the base of the trunks, presumably to stop any circular movement.

PLEASE NOTE that the images were taken under artificial lighting & the vase is actually darker in colour & not as red looking as the images portray.

The vase displays several cast- mold seams about the base & up the sides, although the base plate looks to be originally lead soldered to the sides with the handles further attached through a single hole to each, through the walls of the vase.
The cloissone enamel surfaces, exhibit pinholes,pitting & some areas of loss or under filling?
On the base underneath, there is a cast Xuande period.
The vase appears to be old with an uncleaned patina inside, but we do not know how old?

Could anyone out there help us with determining possible age or period of manufacture.
sincerely yours,
Andrew & Victor.

PS: thankyou to all those good people who have answered my queries in the past, it has helped me not to get ripped off, paying good money for fraudulent reproductions.

many regards,
Andrew & Victor.

Hello.

This is not Chinese, but Japanese. It is not cloisonne, but is bronze champleve, and it is a typical export quality piece dating from the early 1930s or so. The mark is an apocryphal Chinese Ming mark. Decorative, but not terribly rare or valuable.

Cheers

Doug
