Globular pot in cloisonné enamel with dragons, Chinese Qing school, 19th–20th century Cloisonné-enameled bronze with lid. Measures 27 cm in height. Globular vessel decorated with vibrant polychrome cloisonné enamels featuring large celestial dragons set within lobed medallions on a background covered with vegetal scrolls and peony blossoms.
