Forbidden City Vintage Chinese Cloisonne 12" Bottle Vase Zi Jin Cheng Label Mille Fleur Brass

Elevate your home decor (or your collection) with this magnificent vintage mid-20th-century Chinese cloisonne enamel statement vase in rich earth toned colors. Featuring an incredibly dense mille fleur (thousand flowers) pattern, this piece showcases a meticulous web of hand-applied brass filigree wirework. The vibrant, multi-colored floral details pop beautifully against a deep, lustrous ground of warm russet-red and rich burgundy. Standing an impressive 12 tall with an exceptionally wide, substantial 7.5 bulbous base, this vase has fantastic visual weight and presence. It's striking long-neck silhouette makes it a grand standalone focal piece perfect for a fireplace mantel, entryway console table, or a curated bookshelf vignette. The base retains its original silver foil Zi Jin Cheng (Forbidden City) label over a classic blue counter-enamel underbelly. This label signifies production from the renowned state-run artisan factories of Beijing during the mid-to-late 20th century export era. Pre-owned item in excellent condition. The brass rim, base rim, and cloisons retain a wonderful, authentic patina that highlights its age. The interior brass shows minor, expected age-related oxidation.
