An exceptional 18th century Chinese cloisonné planter, finely crafted during the Qing Dynasty, featuring a richly enameled blue ground with intricate scrolling floral and lotus motifs, accented by delicate wirework and gilt bronze mounts.
The planter is formed in a graceful lobed lotus shape, resting on four small bracket feet, and displays classic Qing-period cloisonné characteristics—vibrant enamel colors, precise metal outlines, and a beautifully aged gilt bronze interior. The underside retains its original enameled decoration with repeating floral motifs, further confirming its quality and period craftsmanship.
