This handcrafted vase features a striking green dragon winding through swirling clouds on one side, embodying strength and good fortune. On the reverse, a magnificent phoenix with intricate feather details spreads its wings, representing renewal and grace. Set against a crisp white enamel background the detailed cloisonné wirework and rich green, gold, and red bring this duo to life.

Cloisonné is an ancient metalworking and enameling technique that has been cherished for centuries for its intricate beauty and vibrant colors. The process involves applying thin metal wires to create delicate compartments (or cloisons) on a metal surface. These compartments are then meticulously filled with enamel paste in various colors and fired at high temperatures to fuse the enamel to the metal. The result is a lustrous, glass-like surface with intricate, raised designs that are both durable and visually stunning.
