Beautiful Vintage Pair of Chinese Canton Enamel on Copper Scalloped Trinket Dishes
A lovely matched pair of vintage Chinese Canton-style enamel dishes, beautifully decorated with hand-painted traditional Oriental figures and scenic details.
Each dish is crafted on a copper base with an attractive scalloped edge and a white enamel ground. The central paintings are framed by an intricate decorative border, creating two charming miniature works of art.
DESIGNS
• Dish 1: Features a traditionally dressed warrior or figure riding a white horse through a mountainous landscape, beautifully detailed in colourful enamel.
• Dish 2: Depicts a serene figure dressed in pink and yellow robes, reclining beside a large rock formation surrounded by delicate bamboo foliage.
Both dishes have plain white enamel backs with exposed copper detailing around the lower rims.
CONDITION
Excellent vintage condition overall.
No major chips, cracks or deep scratches to the central painted decoration. There is some light age-related surface wear and minor natural patina to the exposed copper rims, consistent with vintage enamelware.
