i I Fig. 4. China: cloisonné vase from the first quarter of the 16

th century. Height: 43.6 cm. Purchased, inventory number: 65.1. This form of vase is rare among cloisonnés, most likely it was adapted from ceramics (Yü-tung ch'u-p'ing = pear-shaped vase with flaring lip). For such adaptations we can also refer to another cloisonne vase in our collection (T. Horváth, The Art of Old and New China in the China Museum of Eastern Asiatic Arts in Budapest, Acta Históriáé Artium, IV/1956. p. 378, fig. 10).Such pieces are the proofs of that slow procedure, in which a new technique first using forms of other materials in order to succeed to the proper ones.
