Vintage Chinese Cloisonné Vases, Cobalt Blue & Apple Green Floral - Set of 2
Vintage Chinese Cloisonné Vases, Cobalt Blue & Apple Green Floral, Mid‑Century Enamel Brass, Set of 2
A colorful pair of vintage Chinese cloisonné vases in deep cobalt blue, each finished with bright apple‑green florals that feel both sculptural and light. The enamel work has that mid‑century clarity collectors look for: crisp wirework, saturated color, and a balanced silhouette that reads beautifully from every angle. They display as a harmonious set—compact, intentional, and immediately striking in a vignette.
Dating to the 1950s–1980s, these vases reflect the craftsmanship of mid‑century Chinese export cloisonné: machine‑consistent wirework, brass rims with natural oxidation, and the classic turquoise interior enamel. Both pieces are in very good vintage condition with glossy surfaces and no structural issues. Each vase has one small, age‑appropriate enamel loss located on the back or side; these areas are not visible from the primary display angle. One vase retains an old, worn base sticker.

This pair brings a clean, intentional pop of color to a shelf, bedside table, or entry console. Their scale makes them ideal for layering with books, ceramics, or small framed art. The cobalt ground catches natural light beautifully, while the green florals add a quiet brightness that works in both modern and traditional interiors.
