A FAMILLE-ROSE INKSTAND SEAL MARK AND PERIOD OF QIANLONG

in the form of a low table painted in famille-rose palette, the top with a cash symbol in openwork on a faux-marble ground, framed by a border of florets and feathery scrolls, flanked by raised ends with European-style flowers, each of the narrow waisted sides similarly pencilled with two bands of floral blooms, the long sides with openwork stretchers connecting a pair of bracket-shaped legs, the turquoise-glazed underside inscribed with a four-character reign mark in red on a white ground

Apart from the wear to the enamel on the top along the corners and the sides and the loss of enamelling on the top and the underside, the overall condition is still quite good.
