The charger features a striking turquoise-blue enamel ground decorated with two flying cranes above flowering plants and grasses. The cranes are particularly nicely rendered with individually delineated feathers and fine wirework. A colorful floral and geometric border surrounds the central scene.

The reverse is also fully enameled in blue and decorated with an extensive repeating wire scroll pattern, with a raised metal foot rim and an old wire hanger presently attached.

Measures approximately 12” in diameter × 1½” high.
