Antique Important Chinese Qing Guangxu Large Cloisonne Enamel Fish Bowl Planter

Rare Museum quality important large Chinese Cloisonne Enamel Fish Bowl, and it dates to the very last of the Qing dynasty (right before the Xinhai Revolution of 1912). This particular design is from the far eastern side of China which interestingly also shows influence of Japanese design in the large robin’s egg blue areas. This was a common design in Japanese cloisonne from the same period- late Meji. The black areas of cloisonne were carried over in cloisonne designs thru the Chinese Republic Period as well until WWII. What is really interesting is the artist incorporated 2 styles together. It is very unusual to see what is typically called “golden wire” cloisonne (called that because of the gilt contrast of the wire against the black) and the very fine floral elements. Those usually would not be found together. This piece most likely was made to be export for the Japanese market, that is why the design incorporated some Japanese style. This impressive bowl will make a collector very very happy! Not a easy to find pair from a important 50 years old private collection. Measurements: The bowl measures approx. 9-1/2 (24.2cm) Tall x approx. 12 (30.5cm) in Diameter. Provenance: From the private collection of a Palm Beach, Florida Estate.
