It was surrounded by temples and his grandfather obtained the item during the Burma CampaignDuring WW2 clients grandfather also developed a special friendship with a very wealthy Indian family who traded with China. Could the object have been a gift from them is what client suggests could be other reasonFootnote:An identical wine ewer can be found in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Beijing, inscribed with a Kangxi reign mark.  The present lot compares very favourably to another example sold by Sotheby's Hong Kong, 8 April 2010, lot 1804.  The art of enamelling on copper was still relatively new to China when this piece was produced, having been brought over from Europe during the late 17th to early 18th Century.  Gifts from visiting dignitaries and missionaries to the emperor Kangxi included enamels from Europe, such as those made at Limoges, which greatly impressed.  So much so that Kangxi introduced the art to the palace workshops in circa 1700-1715.  Clearly the art was mastered swiftly, as evidenced by this wine ewer and its twin in the National Palace Museum.Condition: Small sliver of enamel has flaked from the underside of the cover   Very small flat enamel chip near the top corner on one side.  Faint surface cracklure visible against the light - not disfiguring and barely visible. wear to corner edges of gilding on copper.
