This striking vintage cloisonne enamel sculpture depicts a powerful dragon coiled around a central treasure bowl, a traditional symbol of protection, prosperity, and good fortune. The dragon is finely cast in patinated bronze with detailed scales across its serpentine body, expressive face, and gilded claws. The central bowl is richly decorated in the cloisonne technique with intricate wirework separating enamel cells on a turquoise ground, featuring scrolling floral and foliate motifs, and is adorned with a prominent circular medallion containing the character "福" (Good Fortune). The sculpture rests upon a bright yellow enameled base adorned with floral motifs and a central rectangular plaque bearing the characters "財富興旺" (Wealth and Prosperity). The underside bears an embossed, square seal mark containing the characters "乾隆年製" (Made in the Qianlong Period). This piece is a striking example of traditional enamel craftsmanship and makes a distinguished decorative accent.
