Pair of Chinese Cloisonné Enamel Miniature Vases

This is a matching pair of Chinese cloisonné enamel miniature baluster vases, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. Each vase features an intricate floral design showcasing yellow plum or cherry blossoms on dark, gnarled branches. The background consists of a vibrant turquoise-green enamel with fine brass or copper wirework in a continuous 'scroll' or 'cloud' pattern. The vases exhibit characteristic copper-alloy rims and foot rings with a visible golden-toned finish. The interior and underside appear to be finished in a solid light blue enamel, which is typical for cloisonné production from the Jingfa region or similar Chinese workshops. Construction involves applying thin metal wires to a metal body, filling the resulting cells with colored glass paste, firing, and polishing. Physically, these miniatures appear to be approximately 3 to 4 inches in height. The condition seems excellent with no visible 'pitting' or cracks in the enamel, and the metal edges show a slight, natural patina without significant corrosion. These pieces represent a high level of decorative craftsmanship used in traditional Chinese export art.
