Hello, this item is a Chinese cloisonné enamel vase, likely dating from the late Qing Dynasty to early Republic period (circa 1880–1930). It is a copper-bodied vessel decorated in turquoise-blue enamel with an intricate floral and foliate motif, featuring lotus blossoms, scrolling leaves, and geometric key fret patterns. The base and rim are gilded brass, and the inner surface shows consistent patination typical of hand-fired enamel from that era.
The turquoise background and fine wirework suggest high-quality craftsmanship, comparable to cloisonné produced in Beijing workshops in the late 19th century, where artisans achieved deep enamel tones and even surfaces. The condition is excellent, with no evident loss or cracking of enamel. Based on design, patina, and craftsmanship, the fair market value for this vase is 400 to 700 USD.
