Exceptional Chinese export ware, which was made very popular during the later 18th century by Marie Antoinette who favored gold and turquoise decor and had many such pieces made. This is in excellent original condition, however it appears it was drilled for feet and the sand caster is missing. But would make an excellent display regardless. less
