New gorgeous 12 inch tall cloisonne enamel blue and white dragon vase made in China.
The vase features a fierce flying dragon over turbulent sea water and rocks. The craftsmanship on this dragon is superb.
The design is laid out with very thin copper wires and cells are filled with different shades of blue enamels.
The surface of the vase is very smooth.
The interior of the vase is covered with white enamels, instead of the usual blue or green interior you'd find in other modern Chinese cloisonnes. The copper wires are gilded with gold.
The design of this vase was inspired by a Qing dynasty QianLong reign porcelain vase. The enamel work on this vase was implemented to mimic the look and feel of traditional Chinese blue and white porcelain vase.
The vase is newly manufactured. The mark at the bottom reads (Made in QianLong Reign) - simply to honor its origin. This vase comes with a beautiful wood stand as shown in pictures.
