A wonderful cloisonné enamel brush washer dating from turn of the century China.
The compressed rounded walls rising from a ring foot to a lipped rim, the interior decorated with a fierce five-clawed dragon writhing around a flaming pearl, the sides with two sinuous dragons also chasing a flaming pearl, with a ruyi border below the mouth rim and a wave border above the foot, all against a black ground with scrolling clouds.
