Qing Style Champlevé Enamel on Copper Archaistic Hu-Form Vase 清式仿古铜胎凿胎珐琅壶形瓶
Original Presentation Script

Opening Context — Here we have a Qing Style Champlevé Enamel on Copper Archaistic Hu-Form Vase: a ceremonial silhouette with dragon-scroll handles and a delicious mint-green ground. Age and Significance — The design quotes 18th‑century court taste: leiwen key-frets, ruyi bands, and taotie echoes—motifs that revived ancient bronzes for the Qianlong era. Such patterns remain popular with later workshops. Materials and Craftsmanship — This is champlevé enamel on a copper body: the metal is cast with recesses, enamel is fired into the cells, and the remaining ridges are parcel‑gilt. The turquoise interior is a classic touch for Beijing/Tianjin enamel work. Condition, Damage, and Repairs — The surfaces are clean with bright gilding and only light scuffing; no dents are visible. Little thinning at high points suggests limited age-related wear. Authenticity and Appraisal Summary — While the style is imperial, the execution—uniform gilding and highly regular relief—reads as late 20th‑century production. Authenticity score: 35/100. For display it’s handsome; at auction I’d expect $300–700. A true 18th‑century example would be exponentially higher.

Description:

A green-ground, turquoise-interior champlevé enamel vase of archaistic hu form with a pair of stylized dragon-scroll handles. Raised and parcel-gilt relief bands of key-fret (leiwen), ruyi scrolls, taotie-like masks and pendent lappets. Copper body with evenly gilt ridges and dotted bosses; square-edged foot.     一件绿地、内壁蓝绿釉色的凿胎珐琅壶形瓶,作仿古“壶”式样,两侧饰龙形卷云式耳。全器以铜胎凿出纹槽填珐琅,凸起金色线条与钉点构成雷纹、如意云、饕餮式纹及莲瓣垂饰等装饰,口沿与圈足铜胎外露并鎏金。

Assessment:

Archaistic decoration, turquoise interior, and raised gilded ridges indicate champlevé enamel on copper echoing Qianlong taste. However, the uniform gilding, crisp symmetry of the leiwen, clean interior, and lack of convincing edge wear or tool marks point to a later workshop piece rather than an 18th-century example. A word about fakes.. cloisonné and champlevé in Qing styles are heavily reproduced; imperial-period pieces show subtler casting, irregular hand-finishing, and naturally thinned gilding at high points. Treat this as a quality decorative reproduction. {chavatar_catchphrase}     本器以凿胎珐琅表现仿古纹饰与绿地蓝内,风格明显承袭乾隆时期的审美。然而,鎏金色泽过于均一,雷纹线条对称且机械感强,内壁洁净,边口缺乏自然磨耗与手工修整痕迹,均更符合20世纪后期工坊制品的特征,而非十八世纪御制器。A word about fakes.. 此类清式珐琅制品赝仿甚多;真正的清代例常见手工不规则、凸点处金层自然变薄及岁月包浆。建议按优质装饰性复制品看待。{chavatar_catchphrase}

Provenance:

Not provided.

Condition:

Very good (light scuffs and minor specks; gilding largely intact, no evident dents; not officially graded)

Identification Score: 86%

Form, palette, and technique clearly indicate a Chinese champlevé-enamel hu-form vase; details are consistent across both images.     造型、配色与工艺均指向中国铜胎凿胎珐琅仿古壶形瓶;两张细节图与此判断相吻合。

Authenticity Score: 35%

Surface and gilding appear too uniform; minimal age wear; modern precision to relief; no base or workshop marks presented—likely late 20th-century reproduction.     表面与鎏金过于均匀,缺乏年代磨耗;凸纹呈现代铸造的精齐感;未见底款或作坊痕迹,综合判断更可能为20世纪后期复制品。
