AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A brass ewer adorned with polychrome cloisonné enamels on a black ground. The ovoid body rests on a circular cavettoed foot, and features a rich decoration of sinuous dragons with yellow bodies, roaming among stylized clouds, flowers, and polychrome scrolls. The neck, shoulder, spout, and foot are underscored by decorative friezes of auspicious motifs, including ruyi heads, scrolls, and floral patterns.
The long, slightly flared neck ends in a broad curved spout, while the handle in gilded/coppery metal takes an elegantly sinuous, volute-shaped form.
China, ca. 1900.
Overall good condition; however the base shows a re-welding restoration (see photos 34 & 35) causing a slight tilt of the ewer relative to its foot. Aging and use wear, slight wear to the enamels, good overall conservation and well-preserved polychromy.
The photos are part of the description.

- Height: 29.5 cm
- Width from handle to spout: 16 cm
- Diameter of the body: 10 cm (approx.)
