Antique Heavy Champlevé and Cloisonné Bronze Bowl with Cover

Click the photo above for a larger version and more pictures

 

 

This outstanding container, with its intricate design of lotus and interlocking flowers, features carved or chiseled depressions in a bronze vessel  . . . . then filled with enamel, fired and polished.

 

Cloisonné was used for the finer details. Here metal wire or ribbon act as a partition for the enamel to be placed.

 

Both techniques are used throughout in the background depressions.

 

Exquisite quality.

 

Purchased from a mid-eastern family who said it was from the early 20th Century.

 

For the Serious Collector.
