A Chinese Cloisonné Tripod ‘Ding’ Censer with Floral Motifs, Qing Dynasty, 19th Century.

A rounded tripod censer decorated throughout in vibrant cloisonné enamel, featuring a rich palette of turquoise blue, deep navy, yellow, red, and green. The body displays a continuous band of stylised floral blooms set against a scrolling foliate ground, framed above by a geometric key-fret border and below by repeated shield-shaped panels filled with intricate geometric motifs. Two upright loop handles rise from the rim, each enamelled with matching floral scrolls. The three cylindrical legs are similarly decorated in turquoise enamel with multicoloured flowers. The interior is finished in an even sky-blue enamel, while the underside shows densely packed floral scrollwork and bears a square mark at the centre.

H: Approximately 20cm

Provenance: Private collection of a European collector.
