Questions about this piece?
Crafted for the Persian market, and bearing Arabic inscriptions, this fine Qing dynasty vase is decorated with cloisonné enamel, and dates to the nineteenth century.
It is decorated with lotus flowers against a turquoise ground, and is low in height, and unusual in shape, being set on three feet in a triangular arrangement of pointed domes. The intricate lotus flower motifs line the vase from feet to the rim, and a pair of arabic inscriptions adorn the vase, mounted in small white panels.
Pieces such as these were common exports from Qing Dynasty China, many were made with the Arabic market in mind, where Chinese wares, and Chinese wares in enamel such as this, were highly prized, as they continue to be so today.
