Cloisonné enamel brazier were not only useful objects but often seen
in elegant or imperial decors since the Ming dynasty. We can observe
one similar to the present on illustrated in a Qing courtly scene of
Emperor Qianlong celebrating New Year, see Nancy Berliner et al.,
The Emperor’s Private Paradise: Treasures from the Forbidden City,
New Haven, 2010, p. 104. Another without cover is also shown, see
idem, p. 231. Similar scenes are illustrated in Wang Yi et al., Daily
Life in the Forbidden City, New York, 1989, p. 278 and with Emperor
Yongzheng in Taipei Palace Museum, Harmony and Integrity: The
Yongzheng Emperor and His Times, Taipei, 2009, p. 119.
