A Tennessee private collection, USA
A distinguished Texas private collection, USA, acquired by the father of the present owner from the above, and thence by descent
Heavily-cast with fine detail in cylindrical form with gently bulging sides, the flat top surmounted by a pair of entwined ferocious five-clawed dragons, their scales and manes intricately worked below serrated manes running along their arched backs, the large heads surmounted by pairs of antler-like horns, the sides crisply cast with a pair of sinuous five-clawed dragons also with intricately rendered scales and serrated back manes, striding amidst lingzhi-shaped clouds and flames above a band of rolling waves, the dragons separated by vertical rectangular panels, each surrounded by clouds and resting on a double-lotus base, one enclosing an incised dated reign mark reading Qianlong ba nian zhi, the other with three characters reading beinanlü, all between bands of classic foliate scrolls and formalised cloud wisps with two striking discs above the edge.
