Chinese Cloisonné Dragon Box, 19th century.
A CHINESE CLOISONNE DRAGON BOX, 19TH CENTURY.

A very well crafted round box and cover decorated with a rampant dragon and flaming pearl.

The deep blue enamel exhibits an interesting effect rather like the use of mixed colours where its surface is covered for the most part with a pale bluish enamel crystalline surface. I haven’t seen this technique used before and I am at a loss to explain how it was achieved.

3.3/4 inches (9.5cm) diameter, 2 inches (5.1cm) high. Perfect condition.

I am based in the United Kingdom so charges made to credit cards are in GBP ( British Pounds ) and your credit card issuer automatically converts the charge to the currency of your country. Payment may also be made by direct bank transfer in GBP. I am sorry but I cannot accept a cash transfer payment by Western Union as I don’t have an office nearby.
