$206.39 $242.81
An old and rare Chinese figurine representing an owl in polychrome cloisonné enamels, resting on a small blackened and lacquered wooden base.
This owl is made using the traditional cloisonné enamel technique, characteristic of Chinese decorative arts.
It has a rounded and elongated body, a large head and particularly expressive large circular eyes.
Its plumage is richly decorated with stylized patterns in vibrant colors, dominated by a deep cobalt blue, combined with shades of light blue, turquoise, red, and white.
Thin, gilded metal partitions highlight the feathers and the various decorative elements.
Its head is adorned with two large white facial discs edged in turquoise, with black eyes surrounded by yellow. Its beak and small legs have a golden finish.
It rests on a small blackened and lacquered wooden base, conforming to the shape of the bird.
Of Chinese origin, this figurine probably dates from the second half of the 20th century, around 1960-1980.
It is a beautiful collector's and decorative object, particularly appreciated for the finesse of its workmanship and the intensity of its colours.
