The combination of gilt bronze and champlevé enamel creates a visually stunning and historically significant piece.Form and Function:The "Duomuhu" ewer is characterized by its tall, cylindrical body, a slender neck that flares into a lobed rim, and a curved spout.The term "Duomuhu" translates to "many treasures bucket" or "multi-treasure ewer," suggesting its use in ritualistic or ceremonial contexts. While its precise function remains a topic of scholarly debate, it is believed to have been used for serving heated beverages or for libations in religious ceremonies.The ewer is decorated using the champlevé enamel technique, a process that involves:Carving: Designs are carved or engraved into the metal surface, creating recessed areas or cells.Enameling: Colored enamel pastes are applied to these recessed areas.Firing: The object is fired in a kiln, fusing the enamel to the metal.Polishing: The surface is polished to create a smooth, lustrous finish.Gilding: In this case, the bronze elements are gilded with gold, enhancing the piece's opulence.High-quality examples of Qianlong period champlevé enamel are relatively rare, a similar model is on exhibition at the National Palace Museum Beijing.This gilt bronze and champlevé enamel "Duomuhu" ewer is a remarkable example of Chinese craftsmanship and artistic innovation during the Qianlong period.
