Description
A very rare CHINESE CLOISONNE ENAMEL LOTUS WATERPOT
Although lotus-leaf was a popular choice of form for washers of the Qing period, it is very rare to find them in cloisonne, but more often in other materials such as jade and crystal. The washer is naturalistically cast as a broad lotus leaf, its veins finely detailed in green and blue enamels within gilt outlines, with a stalk of lotus bud and lotus pod emerging from the base. The lotus pod is rendered in the form of a water pot with a detachable cover embellished with seeds of the pod.
Dimension: L. 24 cm. W. 23 cm. H. 13.5 cm. Weight 1250 grams.
