V0544

A rare early 18th century Kangxi period Chinese famille verte porcelain Gu form vase, expressly reduced and carefully mounted in fine ormolu as a highly prized display piece in the mid 18th century, in a manner suitable for the fashionable luxury Parisian market in Objets Montés.
This technique of cutting and mounting added to the value, rather than lessening it. Boldly marked underneath with dragon cartouche
H 30cm x W 15.5cm
