THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL EARLY CHINESE PORCELAIN BOX FROM THE QIANLONG PERIOD, CA. 1750. THE BOX IS 5" SQUARE, AND STANDS 2.75" TALL. THE TOP HAS A BEAUTIFULLY PAINTED SCENE SHOWING THE GOD OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY STANDING ON A FUNGUS AND HOLDING A RU' YI SCEPTER. NEXT TO HIM IS A STAG THAT REPRESENTS SUCCESS, AND A BAT, THAT SYMBOLIZES LONGEVITY. HE IS BEING PRESENTED INCENSE BY A YOUNG GIRL. THE WORK IS VERY INTRICATE, RIGHT DOWN TO THE HAIRS ON THE STAG. THE LID IS BEVELED, SO THE SCENE IS RAISED. THE REST OF THE BOX IS PAINTED WITH INTRICATE FLORAL DESIGN ACCENTED WITH GOLD. THE INTERIOR AND BOTTOM ARE GLAZED IN A LOVELY BLUE-GREEN COLOR. THE BOTTOM IS SIGNED WITH ONE OF THE QIANLONG MARKS FROM THE PERIOD. THE PICTURES WILL SHOE THAT THE LID WAS BROKEN ON THE LEFT SIDE AND REATTACHED MANY YEARS AGO. T ARE CHIPS TO THE SHORT FOOT ON THE BOTTOM. THE DAMAGE IS REGRETABLE, BUT THE BOX IS OF SUCH A FINE QUALITY AND AGE THAT IT STILL DESERVES ATTENTION. NO RESERVE
