Subject:Cloisonné pot Ming?
Posted By: Dirt Merchant Thu, Aug 01, 2024 IP: 103.10.28.176
I am in need of help finding more information and interested in getting this piece appraised please. I have seen the Tang Dynasty relic from the museum (silver gilded horse pot) discovered in the 70’s and then the piece created after it by Qianmeihua. To my knowledge this piece was already in a family collection when the museum piece was discovered. I’ve compared this one to many examples in museums, major auctions and the nearly 400 page cloisonne book online. I also contacted a gentleman that did a study on pieces from the Rothschild collection and I believe, Royal collection in England. (Found on ResearchGate) He replied that the colors look to be Ming. It also looks to have marks incised into the metal under the gilding on the base. It looks to have been made by someone with a lot of skill but isn’t perfect. There are a couple small areas of damage. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this and am happy to pay for your time and appraisal services. Even if my assessment is completely wrong, learning why and what the true origin of this piece is, would def be worth it!
Thank you!!
About 8” tall and 4-1/2” wide at the base.
