Description

the slightly domed cover densely decorated with stylised lotus blooms borne on scrolling foliage, all reserved on a light blue ground, the box with curved sides rising from a slightly flared foot, similarly adorned around the exterior with continuous lotus scrolls, the gilt-decorated countersunk base incised with a four-character reign mark above the character Zhong

Condition

There are some small refilled losses and typical burst air bubbles to the cloisonné decoration. Except for some minor wear and tarnishing to the gilt-bronze surface (especially to the base), the overall condition is very good.
