Cloisonné enameled vase in willow leaf shaped form decorated with floral and scroll cloud motifs.

The design of this vase looked to the tapering body, and slender shoulders of the willow leaf. In ancient China, there is an important cultural significance to the willow that the tree has been known to have powerful healing properties. We now know the reason for this is the bark contains salicin, the same healing chemical as aspirin.
