QIANLONG YELLOW GROUND EWER DATE: 1735-1796 Chinese Canton enamel ewer, circa 1780, with a pear-shaped body rising from a short spreading foot to a tall waisted knopped neck, with a large loop handle and gently s-shaped spout, brightly decorated overglaze enamels, the body with a central oval shaped painted panel with a stunning central painted landscape with Deer and figures all inside a blue band. Peony heads and curling foliage, below bands of plantain leaves either side of a raised knop to the neck, the foot and rim with coloured bands of scrolling vines, the handle and spout with a cracked ice ground; the tall domed lid with gently waving leaves in blue and pink and surmounted bv a bud finial. A Dragon band connects the spout to the main body of the ewer. Overall in very good antique condition but expect some minor age related imperfections. Very straight. Displays beautifully H: 32cm W: 18cm Few antique Copper enamel pieces survive without some minor touch up or restorations. I have owned this one for over 12 years and am unaware of any restorative work done to it but I cannot guarantee this without reservation as the Ewer is over 200 years old. Great opportunity to own a Premiere Chinese Antique. Picture 13 shows an almost identical Ewer sold at auction in 2021. This with additional charges would amount to almost €4000 Will be carefully packed and sent securely with Insurance. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
