| Description |
Height 19.5 cm. Width 22.0 cm. Depth 18.5 cm. Made from silver (with an apparent gilding decoration), this matching furnace box and lid are carefully crafted with a decorative flower and leaf pattern. The inlaid blue stone is in the form of a dragon and is probably sapphire. The are two reservoirs on the top of the furnace and there are also two small drawers in the side, which are used for firing the furnace with coal or other combustible material. During the cold winter, they would fire the coal and warm the reservoirs to prevent the liquid ink from solidifying. In the base of the furnace there are eight small feet to support this item. Under the base there are six characters engraved with Da (big) Qing (Qing dynasty) Qian Long (emperor's name) Nian (year) Jhi (made). This is in a very traditional Qing dynasty style. |
