Description

A FAMILLE ROSE SAUCE TUREEN AND COVER
China, Qing dynasty, 1770-1790 circa
10 x 15 cm
In the shape of a European incense-boat, the short sides moulded with Baroque cartouches, the handle as a pine cone, the exterior finely painted in soft enamels with small floral compositions and geometric bands.
