This oriental cloisonné cigarette holder from 1950s China epitomizes refined Far Eastern craftsmanship and captures the mid-century fascination with exoticism. The slim, elegantly elongated form (9.3 cm long, 1 cm diameter) combines an ivory-toned conglomerate body, skillfully imitating real ivory, with vibrantly enameled cloisonné sections. Intricately bent brass wires separate fields of color: striking white serves as a backdrop to vivid cobalt, turquoise, rich green, glossy black, and ochre, punctuated with golden highlights. Decorative motifs feature stylized leaves, geometric circles, curling cloud forms, and a distinct Greek key meander near the brass mounts. The subtle narrowing at the mouthpiece and carefully patinated matte brass accents contribute to the holder's poised, harmonious silhouette. Enamel textures shift between raised glossy glazing and understated brushwork, while the bone-white segment provides a smooth, reflective contrast. The construction is seamless with no chips, cracks, or discoloration; the cigarette holder remains in very good vintage condition.
