Lot Essay

The decorative motif on the present wall vase, with scrolling vines and beautiful clusters of flower blossoms are adapted from similarly decorated cloisonné vessels. Compare the current lot to a cloisonné meiping that is similarly rendered with a cluster of triple flower heads against a vibrant turquoise enamel ground, illustrated in the Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum, Enamels: Cloisonne in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), vol. 3, Beijing, 2011, p. 131, no. 96.
