Christopher Bruckner, і敦 This remarkable cloisonné enamel group represents an interesting
practice of taking elements from high-quality Ming and Qing works
and combining them into opulent, and often fantastic assemblages.
For another example, see the unusual cloisonné and champlevé
enamel pagoda from the C. Ruxton and Audrey B. Love Collection,
sold at Christie’s New York, 20 October 2004, lot 450. The Ruxton-
th
Love pagoda incorporates various 18 century elements to create an
elaborate pagoda and includes a drum inscribed with a Qianlong four-
character mark. The practice of creating such assemblages may have
evolved from the tradition of Qing craftsman at the Palace workshops
updating earlier cloisonné wares with elegant establishments in
contemporaneous style.
