CHINESE JiaQing BLUE CLOISONNE VASE

This is a fine example of a Chinese metal work and enamel cloisonne vase.

As mentioned in the title it dates from between the QianLong early JiaQing period.

This makes this example between the 1780's and up to but not beyond 1820.

This cloisonne vase has a very unusual shape to it, the vase has a bulb shaped body with ornate feet and an extended ornate neck and top.

The majority of the body is a blue enamel with a unique floral design and swirl pattern in other colours.

The feet are gold enamelled and very intricately designed, with a ivy style trim around the base of the vase.

As you can imagine this cloisonne vase is very heavy.

It does have minor damage so it will affect the value.

Chinese cloisonne is very popular in today's antiques market and some can be worth a lot of money.

This example in its condition is probably worth between £300-£400
