Exceptional Chinese export ware, which was made very popular during the later 18th century by Marie Antoinette who favored gold and turquoise decor and had many such pieces made. This is in excellent original condition, however it appears it was drilled for feet and the sand caster is missing. But would make an excellent display regardless. See less

The stamen of one flower is missing, as are the feet it was drilled for. Also the sand caster or liner is missing from the left well, I do think a caster not a liner myself, as the mount is undisturbed and I see no way to remove a liner without undoing the mount. Possibly and old chip repaired on the underside, about 1” from the middle foot to the right, under uv light a .25”x.25” area glows light blue but not brightly, also it seems not reactive so it may or may not be. less
