Cloisonne Enamel To-mu
Teapot
Ch'ien-lung period (A.D.
1736-1795)
Ch'ing Dynasty
This cylindrical-shaped
vessel is shaped and jointed
like a length of bamboo. The
area between the joints, the
straight flange along the
back and the rim of the
mouth are gilded with coiled
flower-stem motifs, and inlaid
with turquoise, coral and
lapis lazuli. The reserves
around the outer wall are
decorated with flower and
bird scenes, landscapes and
figures painted in enamel
colors.
