Also, according to Beatrice Quette in Cloisonné: "Chinese Enamel from the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties", Bard Graduate Centre, New York, 2011, p.75 the additional character on the cloisonné incense sets may be for numbering and perhaps for 'differentiating the original location in the different palaces.' A similar censer is illustrated and discussed by Brinker & Lutz, Chinese Cloisonné, The Pierre Uldry Collection, Zurich, 1985, cat. No. 245 & 245a. Provenance: Capt. Harry L.

Lot 565
A Victorian black marble and pietra dura inlaid games top table, the top with chequerboard inlay within sprays of flowers and birds on branches, raised on a turned and ringed trumpet-shaped pedestal to tripod platform base and bun feet, 63 cm diameter CONDITION REPORTS The top has had considerable restoration, especially when viewed from the bottom. The top must have broken into at least five large pieces, the top surface also showing these joins but not as viewable. Where the table top joins to the base it has had re-modelling work, probably at a different stage, and is unsympathetic to the piece. There are some chips at the bottom edge of the table. There are some nibbles around the top edge also and some various scratches, scuffs. It is hard to tell in the chequerboard and in the inlay how much has been restored as, if the top has been smashed into five or so pieces, a lot of these will have been re-stuck or repaired. Certainly, some of the white squares are showing signs of repair and cracks. Extensive restoration throughout to the top but on the whole well done. The base with various chips and scratches and knocks throughout. All over various general signs of wear and tear through age and use and various signs of restoration and work. See images for further details - suggest viewing in person.
