Antique, Chinese Cloisonné, Small Lidded (Ginger Jar Shape) Vase, 17 cm / 6.69 Inch
A beautiful Chinese Cloisonné vase in a ginger jar shape with it\'s wooden base. We quote about Chinese Cloisonné\"FromByzantium or the Islamic world the technique reached China in the 13–14thcenturies; the first written reference is in a book of 1388, where it is called\"Dashi ware\". No Chinese pieces clearly from the 14th century areknown, the earliest datable pieces being from the reign of the Xuande Emperor(1425–35), which however show a full use of Chinese styles suggestingconsiderable experience in the technique. It was initially regarded withsuspicion by Chinese connoisseurs, firstly as being foreign, and secondly asappealing to feminine taste. However, by the beginning of the 18th century theKangxi Emperor had a cloisonné workshop among the many Imperial factories. Themost elaborate and highly valued Chinese pieces are from the early MingDynasty, especially the reigns of the Xuande Emperor and Jingtai Emperor(1450–57), although 19th century or modern pieces are far more common. TheChinese industry seems to have benefited from a number of skilled Byzantinerefugees fleeing the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, although based on the namealone, it is far more likely China obtained knowledge of the technique from theMiddle East. In much Chinese cloisonné blue is usually the predominant color,and the Chinese name for the technique, jingtailan (\"Jingtai blueware\"), refers to this, and the Jingtai Emperor. Quality began to declinein the 19th century. Initially heavy bronze or brass bodies were used, and thewires soldered, but later much lighter copper vessels were used, and the wireglued on before firing. The enamelscompositions and the pigments change with time.\"
