"Chinese Porcelain And Gilt Bronze Ewer, 19th Century"
Finely decorated Chinese porcelain ewer mounted on a richly ornamented gilt bronze base. The porcelain body features a delicate gilt lattice pattern with hand-painted cartouches, illustrating traditional Chinese scenes against a cloudy background. The spout is exquisitely carved in the shape of a bird, while the bronze handle adopts the silhouette of a majestic dragon, a symbol of power and prosperity in Chinese art. The finely chiseled, openwork base lends a touch of lightness and elegance to the whole. This unique piece embodies the perfect marriage between Chinese art and the refinement of 19th-century European mounts. Dimensions: H. 24 cm
