In my very long career as a collector and dealer, I have never seen a finer specimen of a carved walnut shell. Both a dragon and a chhi-lin (kylin), mythical creatures of great fortune, have come to visit a crowd of boys in a village with a pagoda and trees. The dragon curls miraculously through the scene, while a group of boys rides on the chhi-lin's back, the minuteness of detail truly breathtaking. Approximately 1-1/4 inches by 1-1/2 inches.

This sort of bouquetiere or pique-fleurs mural (cut-flower vase) was designed to stand close to the wall, or close to a mirror, in which its flowers would appear doubled. It was made in Moustiers, France, probably at Fouque factory (cf: Nouveau Tardy, Faiences de Moustier, page 98, fig. 185) in the third quarter of the Eighteenth Century. It displays the popular Louis XV motif of a central rococo cartouche with flags and arrows and a quiver. Only normal wear and a couple of minor hairline crack ...click for details
