Small ancient Chinese floral decoration

Small vase – China – 1900s – Structure in gilded bronze and cloissoné – Fruits and leaves in polychrome hard stones.

Let's face it: how beautiful are useless things?!

The vase we propose today is Chinese, from the early 1900s and represents a floral vase, perhaps a model for the creation of a life-size sample.

Please note that on one side of the jar are depicted an amazed shrimp, a chopstick case and a hot Ramen-like soup, but Chinese.

Gilt bronze, turquoise and semi-precious stones, cloisonné technique also known as Luster of Byzantium (here are some more technical notes: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloisonn) in short, a true exercise in style for the Master Craftsman who created it.

Wear and patina, but practically perfect general condition, no breaks.
