Iron-red Jiaqing seal marks but probably later
Of flattened pear form set with chilong handles, enamelled with panels of flowers and insects against a blue ground with gilt scattered flowers, 30.5cm high, boxed (4)
Estimate: | £300 - £500 |
Hammer price: | £2,800 |
Small restoration to one of the chilong's legs. Some restoration around bases. Some wear to the gilding. A UV lamp picks up extensive hairline cracks to the body of each vase. This is likely to have been done at the time of manufacture rather than later restoration
