Tibetan Purple Bronze Cloisonné Pine & Crane Vases (Pair, 14")

This pair of Tibetan temple-style vases celebrates longevity and steadfastness through classic pine and crane motifs. Cast in old purple bronze and richly finished in cloisonné enamel, each pot-bellied vase features soaring cranes among pine branches—two symbols long associated with long life and enduring grace.

Standing about 14.5 inches tall, the vases have a generous, rounded form and a substantial weight that feels instantly important on an altar, console, or sideboard. The enamel colors are layered over the bronze in intricate cells, creating a jewel-like surface that rewards close inspection.

As “bottle appreciation” pieces in the temple tradition, they are meant to be both contemplated and displayed—collectible objects that gather auspicious energy while anchoring a room with their presence.
