Antique Brass Chinoiserie Vase, Enameled, Champleve Style, Geisha/ Seasons
This is an antique enameled brass Champlevé Chinoiserie vase (often referred to or styled as a "courtesan vase"). It features a square-section body with a flared brass neck and foot, showcasing detailed enameled panels that depict a traditional Chinese woman or beauty holding a fan. Heavy. Excellent condition.
Key Characteristics
* Style & Technique: The piece utilizes the Champlevé enameling technique, where cells or troughs are carved, etched, or cast into the surface of the metal object and filled with vitreous enamel. Unlike Cloisonné (which uses applied wire borders), Champlevé uses the thick metal body itself to define the border lines.
* Design Motifs: It features a central decorative cartouche framed by traditional geometric patterns and wave-like Chinoiserie borders near the neck and base. Each scene depicts a woman in classical attire representing a season. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
* Material: Cast brass or bronze serving as the base metal, visible on the un-enameled neck, shoulders, and structural edges.
