A Chinese Enamelled Porcelain Dragon Box, Qianlong Mark.
A circular Chinese enamelled porcelain box composed of two stacking tiers, each finely decorated with dense blue wave patterns encircling the body and highlighted with red ribboned motifs. The cover features a vivid five-clawed dragon rendered in blue, green, and iron-red enamels, depicted soaring above cresting waves in pursuit of the flaming pearl. The sides of the box continue the wave-and-ribbon design in rich cobalt blue with bright accents. The interior is plain white, and the base bears a neatly written Qianlong six-character seal mark in underglaze blue. The rim is bordered with alternating teal and white triangular panels enclosed by yellow bands.
