This exquisite cloisonné vase, named "Crane and Deer with Spring" (He Lu Tong Chun), is a classic example of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. Standing at 25cm tall, it features a stable base with a 5cm diameter and a body diameter of 15cm, presenting a well-proportioned and elegant silhouette.
Designed in the "ancient garlic bulb" (Gu Suantou) style, the vase has a uniquely shaped neck that resembles a garlic bulb, a characteristic form favored in classical Chinese porcelain and metalwork. The surface is adorned with intricate cloisonné enamel patterns depicting cranes and deer in a spring landscape—cranes symbolize longevity and good fortune, while deer represent prosperity and harmony, making the piece a symbol of auspiciousness.
Crafted with the time-honored cloisonné technique, the vase showcases vibrant enamel colors, meticulous wire inlay, and a smooth, glossy finish. Each detail, from the delicate feathers of the cranes to the texture of the deer’s fur, reflects the skill of master artisans. This piece not only serves as a decorative artifact but also carries the rich cultural heritage of Chinese traditional art, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
