Pair of Chinese Cloisonné Baluster Vases Black Ground Gilt Scrolls 20th Century. A handsome pair of Chinese cloisonné enamel vases of baluster form, dating to the 20th century, decorated throughout with a fine pattern of gilt scrollwork on a black ground. Each vase is of elegant proportions with a waisted neck and flared rim, supported on a slightly spreading foot. The surface is decorated with continuous bands of tightly coiled golden spirals forming stylised floral scrolls, vines, and lotus-like motifs.

The black enamel ground creates a dramatic contrast, giving the design clarity and richness. The rims and bases are finished in plain polished brass or bronze, typical of cloisonné manufacture during this period. The craftsmanship shows a high level of precision in the wirework and enamel finish, producing a decorative yet understated aesthetic suitable for both traditional and modern interiors.

Collector's Note: These vases are a good example of mid-20th century Chinese cloisonné made for the decorative market. The black and gilt colour scheme is particularly elegant and was likely influenced by both Chinese traditional motifs and Art Deco preferences in export markets.

The swirling design of spirals and stylised floral patterns echoes the continuous lotus scroll motif often used in Buddhist art, symbolising eternal harmony. Cloisonné vases like these were produced in Beijing and other centres into the 20th century and remain popular among collectors for their vibrant colours and tactile beauty. FAIR - Dents visible around the body of both vases (see photos).

Light surface wear and small marks throughout. Some tarnishing and rubbing to the metal rims and bases. Please review the photos carefully for more details.
