Chinese Cloisonné Trinket Dish, Food Themed, Light Deterioration
This unusual trinket dish features a vast array of food and Chinese kitchen wares as its motif. At the centre of the dish is a vase of flowers, a hotpot soup serving pot, a potted plant and some cherries/plums. The images around the side repeat the hotpot and plant along with some dim sum baskets. The piece is marked “China” in the base.
MEASUREMENTS: 2 inches tall with a 5.5 inch diameter.
CONDITION: This piece has some damage to the cells and enamelling (please review pictures), but it still is a great piece for display purposes. The white speckles that look like white paint spatter are signs of deterioration likely from being washed. The speckles will not rub or flake off, and further deterioration will take years if handled with care. The uniqueness of the piece makes it one still worth cherishing.
