Tin with a lid, Chinese, Qing dynasty, Qianlong period, cloisonné enamel. Cylindrical tin with a wide plate-like collar extending beyond the vessel walls, slightly rising at the rim. Domed lid with a handle in the shape of a decorative knob with openwork relief: a dragon in clouds, its head directed toward a pearl atop the handle. Exterior box and collar decorated with a multicolored red, blue, green, yellow, white small-flowered ornament — branches with rosettes, buds, and leaves — on a turquoise background. Lid decorated with a lotus tendril composed of four geometrically arranged flowers with surrounding branches; a multi-petal rosette in the center under the metal handle, also on turquoise. Bottom filled with a rich multicolored composition of elements reminiscent of Buddhist symbols — a vajra and Dharma wheel forming the inner rosette, with two-colored red and blue ribbons between the symbols. Interior of box and lid without enamel decoration; all interior elements gilded. Possibly an element of religious ritual incense box. 18th century, China. Container; height 7.7 cm, diameter 15.1 cm., A round lidded dish with a domed lid and a decorative finial sits against a gray background; the dish and lid are covered in a sky blue enamel patterned with a network of gold outlines forming scrolling vine motifs and floral shapes filled with red, green, dark blue, white, and touches of yellow, with a gold rim and a small ornate gold finial on top.
