Small Chinese Cloisonné Lidded Box Two Dragons Chasing Flaming Pearl Circa 1930s
About the Item
This is a very decorative Chinese Export cloisonné lidded box which we date to the mid 20th century.
The box has a cylindrical shape, with its original lid and is all beautifully made with colored enamels set into a black ground.
The main decoration to the body shows two 4-toed dragons chasing a flaming pearl. The lid shows another dragon set amongst clouds. The dragons have a gold colouring and other colours are used to give the detailed scene including red, green, blues, yellow and white. The lid also has lappet border patterns in blue to its edges. The insides of the lid, the box and the base of the box are finished in a turquoise blue, typical of Chinese cloisonné.
Overall a very beautiful small Chinese cloisonne box.
NOTES
Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. In East Asian culture the dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck for people who are worthy of it. The movement of the dragons chasing The "Pearl" shows that the dragons are continually in the pursuit of wisdom, where according to history and the myth, pearls are symbolic of wisdom gained through experience.
