A RETICULATED FAUX GOLD PORCELAIN ‘DOUBLE GOURD’
POMANDER
QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)
The pomander is of fattened double gourd form and is modelled in openwork
to the lower side and the detachable upper half with an archaistic scroll
including two confronting dragons. It is covered over all in gilt in imitation of
gold. The sides are modelled with two small lug handles accommodating the
yellow string that fastens the cover and is strung with two coral beads, one
carved as an eternal knot and the other with dragons, and a hardstone bead.
