Tin with a lid, Paderewski, Ignacy Jan 1860–1941, Chinese, Qing 1644–1911, 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 shaped as a decorative openwork relief: a dragon in clouds, 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 of four geometrically arranged flowers and surrounding branches; center beneath the metal handle features a multi-petal rosette, also on turquoise. Bottom filled with a rich multicolored composition of elements reminiscent of Buddhist symbols — a vajra and Dharma wheel forming the inner central rosette, with two-colored red and blue ribbons between the symbols. Interior of box and lid lacks enamel decoration; all interior elements are gilded. Possibly an element of religious ritual incense box. 18th century, China. Container; height 7.7 cm, diameter 15.1 cm., An ornate round lidded container sits against a light gray background, with a domed lid topped by a small decorative knob that is metallic gold with carved details. The lid and the sides of the container are covered in an enamel-like pattern featuring a sky blue background with swirling dark green vine motifs and floral shapes in red, pink, yellow, and white, outlined in gold. A wide metallic gold rim encircles the lid and body, and the overall color palette includes blue, gold, green, red, pink, yellow, white, and touches of dark brown in the outlining and aged areas.
