GILT-BRONZE CIRCULAR ‘CHUN’ BOX AND COVER
Qianlong
Of compressed globular form resting on a wide foot, exquisitely
decorated in bright enamels on a turquoise ground, the cover with
a central medallion enclosing a large Chun character centred by a
medallion enclosing Shoulao and his deer below a pine tree, flanked by
a pair of writhing five-clawed dragons amidst cloud scrolls and above

flaming pearl, Endless Knot and other Auspicious Emblems, encircled
by a classic scroll border, the sides of the box and cover with eight
lobed cartouches each vividly depicting different scenes with a scholar
and boy engaged in various leisurely pursuits in landscape scenes filled
with rockwork and lush vegetation including willow, bamboo, pine and
paulownia, divided by the Babao, all reserved against floral honeycomb
blue and turquoise diaper ground, with a further zigzag band and a
border of continuous foliate lingzhi fungus scroll, the heads of Shoulao
and the figures delicately modelled in relief as gilt-bronze appliqués,
the base decorated with prunus blossoms on a ‘cracked-ice’ ground.
