A PAINTED ENAMEL 'EUROPEAN-SUBJECT’ CUP AND A SNUFF BOX AND COVER

QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)

The tall cup is brilliantly enameled on the exterior with a continuous scene of European gentlemen on horseback riding towards a robed lady standing in a loggia, with a cliffside castle and ships in the distant background, the rim and foot with gilding. The rectangular snuff box is enameled on top of the cover with two European ladies and a gentleman sitting in a garden, the interior with a scene painted in sepia and light blue of figures along a riverbank. The bombé sides feature similar riverscapes in cartouches against a dark blue ground, the base decorated with a spray of finger citrons and lilies, fitted with gilt metal mounts.
