Globular pot in cloisonné enamel with dragons, Chinese Qing school

Descriptio Cloisonné enameled bronze with lid. Measures 27 cm in height. Globular vessel decorated with vibrant polychrome cloisonné enamels featuring large celestial dragons inscribed within lobed reserves on a background covered with vegetal scrolls and peony blossoms. The surface displays an exuberant ornamental repertoire in turquoise, blue, green, red, and white tones, delineated by fine gilded metal partitions that structure each decorative motif. The facing dragons, with their dynamic expressions, symbolize imperial power, protection, and prosperity within traditional Chinese iconography. The enveloping composition and chromatic intensity fully reflect the technical refinement achieved by the cloisonné workshops of the late Qing period. The metal lid completes the piece, providing formal balance to an object designed for both decorative and ceremonial use. The work stands out for the visual richness of its polychromy and the meticulous precision of its craftsmanship. 27 cm in height. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU).
