AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful round cloisonné snuff box, made of copper and richly decorated with multicolored enamel. The domed lid features an impressive five-clawed dragon between stylized clouds and waves, rendered in vibrant shades of yellow, green, turquoise, red and gold on a black background. The interior is finished with bright blue enamel, which provides a beautiful contrast to the richly adorned exterior.

Cloisonné is a traditional enamel technique in which thin metal wires form separate areas of color that are filled with enamel, then fired and polished. This technique was refined and applied especially in China to decorative objects.
No damage.

Carefully packed and shipped with tracking.
