Artistic Details & Features:
• Rich Visual Contrast:
Features a deep, glossy midnight-black enamel background that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant, hand-painted polychrome
• Masterful Brushwork:
The artwork depicts elegant orange-pink lotus blossoms in various stages of bloom alongside large, heavily detailed green lotus seed pods. The artist utilized excellent color-gradient shading on the petals and meticulous stippled dot-work to give the seed pods an authentic, textured dimension.

The matching lid fits perfectly and is topped with an undamaged, pointed lotus-bud finial that carries the pattern gracefully to the very top.

red square apocryphal stamped reign mark, a traditional practice honoring historical dynasty styles,
indicating its origin as a mid-to-late 20th-century export piece.
