A commanding antique Chinese cloisonné enamel charger from the Late Qing Dynasty to early Republic period. This 12-inch basin-style plate features a vibrantly enameled five-clawed imperial dragon in golden-yellow, meticulously rendered with fine wirework. The dragon is depicted chasing the flaming pearl of wisdom amongst multi-colored ruyi-style clouds and auspicious vapors.
The central motif is set against a deep turquoise-blue ground, which extends to the reverse. The underside displays a secondary layer of delicate geometric wirework beneath the enamel—a hallmark of quality craftsmanship. The rim and base are finished in a heavy brass with a deep, authentic patina.
Dimensions: 12" Diameter x 1.5" Height (Approx.)
Condition: Excellent antique condition. The enamel is stable with no chips or significant losses. Extremely minor pin-sized pitting consistent with the period's firing process.
Included: Comes with the carved wooden display stand as shown.
Provenance: From a private family collection for over 50 years.
