May Asian Sale

Cloisonné is mainly used to decorate metal objects or ceramics. The technique involves applying colored enamels to different materials, which are then fired to bring out the design. It likely originated in ancient Egypt or the Byzantine Empire. It later spread to China, where it was applied to bronze and porcelain. A pair of Chinese cloisonné vases are among the featured items in the upcoming May Asian Sale, presented by WR Auction Gallery Inc. These blue pear-shaped vases feature floral motifs in green, red, yellow, and white colors.

The sale offers several pieces of carved jade as well. Often referred to as “the Stone of Heaven,” jade symbolizes status, wealth, and wisdom in China. A carved spinach jade panel is a featured lot. Inserted in a hardwood frame, the panel depicts a figural scene. A white jade boulder carved with mountainous landscape scenes on both sides will also be available.
