Chinese Cloisonné Vase with three Dragons chasing a flaming pearl, Circa 1920s
About the Item
This is a very decorative mid size cloisonné vase, made in China and dating to the Chinese Republic period, Circa 1920's.
The vase has a good baluster shape. It has been well made of a bronze alloy with rich enamels of many different colours, set into a brick red ground.
The main decoration shows THREE 5-clawed dragons, all chasing a single flaming pearl from different angles, with a lappet border at the neck and a different wave border above the base rim, all in good detail.
A dragon chasing a pearl is a common image found in Chinese art with the pearl being a symbol of wisdom, spiritual energy and power and the dragon is the emblem of the emperor, representing prosperity and good luck.
The base has a feint makers mark.
Overall a good and very decorative cloisonne vase.
