Nice highly decorated Cloisonne vase. With floral motifs and hidden little treasures hidden throughout the foliage. It also has the 8 Buddhist treasures hidden among the flowers and vines. Looks great on the cream colored background. Made of copper with a brass coated interior. The bottom is marked CHINA. It could possibly date from 1891 to 1920. But later dates wouldn’t surprise me. It’s a wonderfully decorated Cloisonne vase with many vibrant colors. The condition is excellent with no chipped cloisonne or dented metal. Measures 9” tall.
really-?---are these the Dharma Wheel, the Dharma Snail, the Treasure Umbrella, the Lotus Flower, the Goldfish, the Demon Slayer Pestle, the Peach and the Lucky Cloud. They are all traditional Buddhist Dharma vessels that represent the limitlessness of Buddhism, peace and happiness. so we are probably missing to many symbols- looks much newer to me- but who am i
That vase is stunning—love how the 8 Buddhist treasures are subtly worked into the floral design. The cream background really makes the colors pop https://monkeymart2.github.io. It’s always fascinating to see how much detail and symbolism goes into pieces like this!
