This nineteenth-century Chinese Qing Dynasty ashtray takes the form of a mythical dragon with the body of a tortoise. The vessel rests upon four detailed blue-enamelled feet and incorporates silver filigree wirework, complex geometric patterned enamelling in shades of blue and green, and distinct red and gold flame-like side motifs. A pale carved jade ring forms the circular rim, surrounding a polished gold-wash interior basin. Attached at the front is a dragon head complete with horns, open jaws showing teeth, whiskers, and blue and green enamelled facial scales. Behind the creature sits a rectangular fabric-covered box patterned with round floral roundels in pale pink, yellow, and cream tones. Measuring 16 x 11 cm, the ashtray functions as a decorative accessory for a study or gentleman's library desk. The piece adds an ornate focal point to a desktop workspace, display cabinet surface, or collector's shelf within a home interior.

FAQs

Produced primarily from the late Qing Dynasty into the early twentieth century, these items combined traditional Chinese motifs, such as dragons and clouds, with functional western forms for export and elite domestic markets.

Crafters constructed these pieces using hand-formed silver filigree wirework, applied polychrome vitreous enamels, and carved jadeite or nephrite elements, often finished with gold-wash gilding.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved jade with natural inclusions, intricate wirework filigree, silver hallmarks or export stamps, and hand-applied vitreous enamelling with minor surface variations.

Position the piece as an accent object on an executive desk, inside a glass display cabinet, or styled on a coffee table tray to introduce rich color and texture.

Dust gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, silver dips, or water submersion, as moisture can compromise wirework and damage delicate enamel.
