拍品专文

This is one of a series of nineteenth century enamels on metal, often bearing apocryphal Qianlong marks, which are among the finest examples of their type in the late Qing period.

For a white-ground floral enamel of this group dated to the eighteenth century in The Victoria and Albert Museum, see H. White, Snuff Bottles from China, London, 1992, pl. 128; and for a related yellow-ground example, pl. 129, no. 2.
