Antique Chinese Cloisonne Tureen
This magnificent and striking tureen is made of cloisonne having a slightly mustard yellow ground and beautifully accented with green diaper around the mouth of the bowl. The body is decorated with traditional Chinese emblems of good luck, and auspicious symbols such as the bat decorated with speckled blue. The blue dragon scaled handle atop the lid is embellished with brass buttons. The bowl is supported by flaring oval wrap-around feet.
Date
This cloisonne tureen dates to the Qing dynasty, probably around 1890, with a little flexibility around that time.
Condition
The condition on the outside is very good to excellent with minor losses from age. The underside and interior enamels are long gone as these tureens were practical dining wares rather than decorative.
However, given the visual impressiveness of this tureen, you will serve a feast for the eyes for generations to come.
