About this lot

Description

A Chinese cloisonné vase circa 1900; together with a Japanese millefiori cloisonne bowl circa 1900
vase 16cm high
bowl 9.5cm high



We have no reason to suspect that the base has been replaced. The colour seems consistent with the rest of the vase. The vase sits well on the base and there does not appear to be any internal evidence of it being affixed later. There is chipping to the turquoise enamel on the base and other spots of chipping throughout the body of the vase. Spots of damage to the brass wiring throughout the body of the vase. The bowl seems to have been repaired around the legs. Minor chipping to the rim. Damage to the enamel on the body of the bowl. Ware and discolouration commensurate with age throughout both items.
