Large Early 20th-Century Chinese Cloisonné Pumpkin Box/Centerpiece, 1910s

About the Item

An exquisite early 20th-century Chinese cloisonné box, masterfully crafted in the 1910s, shaped like a pumpkin with a generous 30 cm diameter. This rare and highly decorative piece showcases the refined artistry of the ancient cloisonné enamel technique, renowned for its intricate detailing and vibrant hues. The exterior is adorned with an exceptional palette of yellow, sky blue, deep blue, violet, and red, with the colors remaining beautifully rich and vivid despite its age. The interior is coated in a stunning azure blue enamel, offering a striking contrast that enhances its elegance. A particularly refined detail is the brass rim along the interior edge, designed to perfectly accommodate the matching lid, ensuring a seamless fit. Atop the lid, a delicate brass stem/branch, aged with a beautiful natural patina, further elevates the piece’s authenticity and character. Not only a collector’s treasure, this antique cloisonné box is also a remarkable decorative object, perfect for use as a centrepiece on a dining or coffee table, or as an elegant console table accent, as seen in the reference photo. A truly fascinating and elegant piece, blending artistry and functionality, ideal for collectors or as a striking statement in any interior.
