This matching pair of vintage Chinese cloisonné enamel cabinet baluster vases showcases powerful, dynamic Imperial five-clawed dragons chasing the flaming pearl amidst stylized scrolling clouds and dense floral blooms.                                                                            Vibrant colour palette: cobalt blue, turquoise, and coral red enamel designs provide a striking contrast against the crisp white background field. The miniature vessels have classic flared necks, repeating ruyi-head borders, and speckled green counter-enamel base. Includes two custom-fitted dark-washed carved wooden presentation stands, making this pair an elegant, ready-to-display accent for cabinet collections, open mantel shelves, or curated global interiors.
