DESCRIPTION: From the Florida estate of an avid Asian collector comes this large, exceptional Chinese cloisonné and gilt bronze brazier. Standing on four feet shaped as elephants’ trunks, the large body has a wide flared rim, perfect for distributing heat.

The planter is of decent weight and has good signs of age and use; the interior has a deposit of calcium (from water) built over its years of use as a plant-pot holder.

A CHINESE ENAMEL ON COPPER BOWL, PROBABLY 18TH CENTURY.
The bowl is similar in shape to enameled bowls produced in the early part of the 18th century.
