Description from the seller

Small Circular Enamel Box in Cloisonné Style – Apocryphal Qianlong Mark (NO RESERVE)

Detailed description:
Charming small circular box, made of copper alloy and cloisonné-style enamel.

The decoration unfolds on a deep azure blue background, adorned with floral motifs (plum and cherry blossoms) in shades of pink, yellow and green. The base and lid are outlined by a frieze of stylized scales and traditional clouds, offering a striking chromatic balance.

Technical features:

Signature: Present under the base is a four-character mark in a seal script (zhuanshu): "乾隆年製" (Qianlong Nian Zhi). This is an apocryphal reign mark, characteristic of prestige productions of the 20th century paying homage to the Qing period.

Interior: Uniform turquoise enamel.

Dimensions: Diameter 5.3 cm | Height 3.5 cm.

Weight: 103 g.

Condition: In perfect preservation. No enamel loss, no cracks or restorations. The gilding on the borders is still well-present and bright.
