Although lotus-leaf was a popular choice of form for washers of the Qing period, it is very rare to find them in cloisonné, but more often in other materials such as jade and crystal, for example, a jade lotus leaf-form washer sold at Christie’s New York, 19-20 May 2013, lot 1739. For a similar but smaller cloisonné enamel lotus-leaf-form washer, compare to the example sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 3 June 2015, lot 2916.
It is very interesting to compare the form of the present washer with metalwork censers of Song dynasty such as the example in the collection of the Nanjing Municipal Museum, which is similarly cast with a lotus pod, lotus flower and leaf all borne on an undulating stem and connected to a long handle.
