Antique Chinese cloisonné enamel bowl dating to the late 19th century, possibly Qing Dynasty period. This beautiful decorative piece features a striking dragon motif inside the bowl, a powerful symbol in Chinese culture representing strength, protection and imperial authority.

The interior shows a finely detailed coiled dragon with expressive face and scaled body, surrounded by traditional cloud and flame motifs. The exterior features colourful enamel work with flowing patterns and stylised designs typical of late Qing cloisonné craftsmanship.

The base displays a decorative mark panel surrounded by cloud motifs, set within a floral border. The bowl is made with traditional copper body and cloisonné enamel technique, where fine metal wires form the outlines of the design and are filled with coloured enamel.

This piece works well as a display bowl, decorative centrepiece, or collector’s item for those interested in Chinese antiques, Asian art, or cloisonné enamelware.
