Although lotus-leaf was a popular choice of form for washers of the Qing period, it is very rare to find them in cloisonne, but more often in other materials such as jade and crystal, as can be exemplified by lot 2928 and lot 2925 in this Catalogue, respectively.
It is very interesting to compare the form of the present washer with metalwork censers of Song dynasty such as the example in the collection of the Nanjing Municipal Museum, which is similarly cast with a lotus pod, lotus flower and leaf all borne on an undulating stem and connected to a long handle.
