ANTIQUE QING DYNASTY CELADON JADE BELT HOOK GILT ENAMEL BRASS TREASURE BOWL

This extraordinary antique pairing reflects the refined mastery of Qing era artisans. At the heart is a finely carved celadon jade belt hook in the form of a dragon's head with rich surface polish and warm age tones. The jade is elegantly mounted in ornate gilt brass that features deeply chased dragons swirling in mythic motion. Cradling this piece is a rare octagonal cloisonne bowl vividly enameled in emerald green with lotus blossoms and a central hand painted scene of a lady in repose within a garden. The bowl is footed and fully marked China on its base, verifying its historical authenticity and export period origins. Together these works offer more than decorative value. They are a fusion of symbolic form and imperial aesthetics once reserved for elite scholars and nobility. The dragon motif represents power and longevity while the belt hook itself is an emblem of status within traditional dress. The treasure bowl enhances the presentation with color and complexity that amplifies its presence in any fine collection. This offering is not simply about ownership it is about legacy. For the serious collector seeking provenance prestige and poetic form this is an unmissable acquisition.
