Lot Essay
Moss discusses a small group of Yongzheng-marked Beijing enamel wares, By Imperial Command, p. 47, and illustrates several examples, pls. 17-20. One of the innovations appearing during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng was 'the use of wrought and gilded metal details' seen on the cover, handle and finial of the present lot.
