Product code: Top Chinese
Chinese "Blue of Jingtai" JINGFA Enamelware Cloisonné Brush Pot or Low Bowl. No flaws, chips or cracks. Some of the shiny spots are glare from the lighting. Intense cobalt color and graceful contours characterize this low bowl or brush pot produced by JINGFA, an award-winning top company which reportedly makes 75 percent of the cloisonné created in the Republic of China. Primary colors include cerulean, turquoise, cobalt and teal, with copper wire outlines of stunning chrysanthemums surrounded by other florals. The rim of the bowl is decorated in a stylized Moroccan pattern. The maker of the piece in this listing, JINGFA, derives its name from the "Blue of Jingtai," a reference to China's traditional enamel ware cloisonné, so-called because it was (and still largely is) predominantly blue. The most elaborate and highly prized Chinese cloisonné comes from the Ming Dynasty period, particularly the reign of the Jingtai Emperor (1450-57), another namesake. Bowl is 6 1/4 W.
