Elegant vintage cloisonné enamel lidded jar, hand-decorated with intricate enamel work on brass in rich shades of blue, green, red, and gold. Each of the six panels features a scenic landscape with birds in flight, framed by scrolling floral and vine designs. The jar rests on a dark wooden base, adding contrast and stability to the ornate enamel work.
This piece showcases the traditional Chinese cloisonné technique, where fine gilt wires form compartments filled with hand-applied colored enamel, then kiln-fired to a glossy, durable finish. The underside is coated in the classic turquoise blue enamel, typical of mid-20th-century cloisonné craftsmanship.
