Rare Antique Chinese Bronze and Champleve jar.

4 1/4" Height x 4 1/4" Diameter 

 Weighs 16 oz. 

 DS #4042-6 

There is wear and pitting to the enamel. 

Exceptional patina. 

Otherwise Excellent Condition considering age; no dents. 

Authentication reads as follows:

 "My opinion is that is jar was made by the same producer as your other jar, and about the same time period [circa 1880]. 

So it is another very rare example of Chinese champleve with bronze body censer. 

Seems it was used and damaged and repaired over time, a good sign that it was meant for local Chinese consumption, and not a decorative piece sitting on a mantel or cabinet in Europe. 

The motifs here are Buddhist and represent a few of the sacred objects, with a background of lotus plant stems. 

Colors are beautiful. 

Value will not be as high but, still a unique piece, I would suggest $200. to $300." From Lisa at idcloisonne.com
