Bring a touch of timeless Oriental elegance into your home with this stunning vintage Chinese cloisonné plate, beautifully presented on a carved wooden display stand. This exquisite piece showcases the intricate art of cloisonné, a traditional enamelware technique originating in China. The plate features a captivating design of delicate cherry blossoms (sakura) set against a warm, patterned background. The cherry blossom holds deep cultural significance in Chinese art and symbolism, representing renewal, beauty, and the transient nature of life, making this plate more than just a decorative item but a piece imbued with cultural narrative.
Crafted from copper, the plate boasts vibrant enamel work, meticulously laid within fine metal cloisons to create the detailed imagery. The back of the plate is finished in a serene blue enamel, complementing the artistry on the front, and the exposed copper rim displays a lovely, warm patina consistent with its age. This plate measures approximately 15.5 cm in diameter. While there are some very minor, almost imperceptible manufacturing imperfections in the enamel, these do not detract from the overall beauty and masterful craftsmanship of this vintage art piece.
The accompanying carved wooden stand, perfect for display, measures about 16 cm in width by 11 cm in depth, and the total height when the plate is displayed is approximately 20.5 cm. The stand shows normal vintage wear commensurate with age but remains free from any damage, providing a sturdy and attractive base for the plate. This unique item would make a remarkable addition to any collector's display or a cherished gift for those who appreciate fine Oriental art.
