This is a substantial, museum-weight vintage Chinese cloisonné baluster vase. Unlike common export pieces with sparse patterns, this premium example features the highly desirable "Hundred Fruit" motif. The entire vessel is densely packed with intricate hand-soldered wirework forming heavy clusters of purple grapes, ripening pink peaches, and open pomegranates nestled within layered autumn foliage.
Set against a deep midnight-black ground enamel, the colors pop with incredible saturation. Finished with a heavy, thick brass-gilt rim and base ring.
•Material: Heavy-gauge copper/brass core with vitreous enamel.
•Dimensions: Approx. 15.25 inches tall (Centerpiece scale).
•Symbolism: Traditional Asian motif representing wealth, continuous prosperity, and longevity.
