Early 20th Century Chinese Antique Cloisonne Bottle Vase, Flecked with Gold:
$6.26

This is a really very high quality piece of Chinese cloisonne on copper vase.
The largest panels around the body are illustrated with brown dragons on a pale beige background, and white birds, which I assume to be phoenix, on a sparkling green background flecked with gold.
Above the geometric yellow, red and turquoise band, there are alternating panels showing bats and white dragons on a bronze background again flecked with gold.
For those who do not know, cloisonne is made by soldering very fine copper wires onto the copper base of the vase to produce an intricate pattern, and then the gaps between the wires are filled in with layer upon layer of enamels. In the case of very high quality pieces like this, the enamels are flecked with gold to produce a translucent, sparkling effect which is brilliant in direct sunlight.
This vase does unfortunately have various areas of loss and damage which I have tried to show in the photographs, and both the base and rim are buckled, but it stands straight and in spite of the damages, it still provides a very colourful and beautiful display.
I would date the vase to the early 20th century.
The vase is 255mm tall.
