拍品专文

This exceptional cloisonné enamel vase is particularly rich in details and auspicious symbols, such as the bat-embracing ruyi-heads and hanging blades enclosing lotus sprays. Such complex and luminous design, executed with a variety of colours, reflects the taste for exquisite and elaborate works of art during the 18th century as well as the virtuosity achieved by artisans of the time.
