Cloisonne Enamel Flask
with Red Cliff Decor
Ch'ing Dynasty
(A.D. 1644-1911)
Height 45.8cm
This flask has a
straight neck, double
handles, and a flattened
belly, two faces of which
are decorated with a
painting of boats sailing
at Red Cliff. The sides
of the belly are decorated
with dragon and phoenix
motifs. The partial use
of cloisonne enamel to
produce landscape-like
lineation, together with
the vivid painting, produce
an effect of antique charm.
