Very Imposing Superb and rare Chinese Export Qianlong period (1736-95) soup tureen 36cm (14) in length. Painted with panels of river landscapes, pagodas and mountains with a very unusual pomegranate handle , within wide floral, lattice and floret borders.
Also with a charming pair of boar handles. The lid has been restored at some point in its history with a glue repair but the actual crack on the item is not very visible. There is a chipped ear on one of the boar handles ears on the base. It has been priced to take account of the.
This is a very large and wonderful tureen. Beautifully decorated and authentic to the mid 18th Century when it was made. Dimensions: Length 36cm (14") width 23cm (8.5") and height 21.5cm (8.5).
I have listed a second Chinese Export Qianlong period tureen of the same dimensions of different design but very similar. The item is listed elsewhere so the item may be withdrawn without notice.
