10 - A Rare Export Enamelled Fish-form Box and Cover, Qianlong period, Qing dynasty naturalistically modelled in the form of a large fish, the finely fitted cover and box intricately detailed with overlapping scales, prominent rounded eyes, an open mouth, and carefully articulated dorsal, pectoral and tail fins, decorated in contrasting rich brown and creamy-white enamel, skilfully accentuating the lifelike features and finely textured surface. The interior left unglazed, revealing the pale buff-coloured body; an unusual and charming example of Qing dynasty naturalistic pottery, reflecting the fascination with ingenious and playful forms during the Qianlong period
