Description

A large and impressive pair of cloisonné enamel cranes, 20th century


each of imposing size, modelled as a pair of cranes standing on a rockwork-base surrounded by cresting waves, their long necks curved as the smaller crane looks backward towards the larger crane, grasping a double-peach sprig in its long pointed beak, the chest with an apocryphal four-character Qianlong mark
