Stunning Large Chinese Cloisonné Bowl Blue
Bowl subtly incorporates a number of dragons within its intricate pattern. Chinese Cloisonné bowls are traditional decorative items that showcase the intricate art of cloisonné, a technique involving the use of enamel and metalwork. Cloisonné is a type of decorative work where thin wires are used to create compartments (cloisons) on the surface of an object, and these compartments are then filled with enamel colours.
The piece is fired in a kiln, and the enamel fuses, creating a smooth and vibrant surface. The production of cloisonné wares was initially influenced by Middle Eastern techniques but evolved over time into a distinctive Chinese style.
Chinese Cloisonné bowls continue to be created today, with artisans preserving and adapting this traditional art form. Whether antique or contemporary, these bowls serve as beautiful examples of Chinese decorative arts. This beautiful and vibrant bowl bowl measures approx.30cm/12" in diameter and 9cm/3.5" high.
