This elegant piece balances vibrant polychrome enamels with substantial metalwork, making it a standout addition for any collector of Chinese decorative arts. Key Features Auspicious Iconography: The body is finely hand-painted with Red-Crowned Cranes—the "birds of immortality"—soaring amidst stylized lingzhi (longevity fungi) and scrolling ruyi-shaped clouds. Masterful Form: The vessel is divided into crisp, even lobes, complemented by a flat lid featuring a central bud finial and a collar of lush green overlapping petals. Patinated Bronze Handle: Features a distinctive double-overhead bronze swing handle. The aged bronze provides a beautiful textural contrast to the smooth porcelain and is securely attached to integrated porcelain loops. Condition: Offered in excellent condition, with remarkable preservation of the enamel work and the integrity of the porcelain body.
