This is a vintage Chinese cloisonné lidded jar, measuring approximately 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide. The jar is crafted from brass with colorful enamel cloisonné decoration, featuring a repeating geometric background pattern with floral and leaf motifs in shades of blue, red, green, and turquoise.
• Origin: Marked “CHINA” on the base, indicating mid-20th century export production (most likely 1950s–1970s).
• Design Style: Traditional Chinese cloisonné enamelwork – intricate wirework outlines filled with brightly colored enamel, fired to create a glossy surface.
• Details: Finial-topped lid, scalloped decorative borders, and vibrant floral patterns that reflect classic Chinese artistry.
• Condition: Vintage condition with expected signs of age (patina, some surface wear consistent with age). No major chips or cracks noted.
This charming piece works beautifully as a decorative collectible, for use in a display cabinet, or as part of a cloisonné or Asian decorative arts collection.
