Lot 224:
A collection of Chinese decorative objects including a dragon boat sculpture, a cloisonné bowl, a porcelain bowl, and a faux orchid arrangement
Description
This collection comprises four decorative items in the Chinese style. The group features a large artificial floral arrangement of white Phalaenopsis orchids with yellow centers and green buds. The stems are supported by dark vertical stakes and a decorative twisted wood-like branch, all set within a low, white glazed ceramic planter bowl finished with green foliage at the base.
The lot also includes an intricately carved dark reddish-brown resin sculpture of a dragon boat. The vessel is modeled with a dragon-head prow, scaled body, and multiple figures on board, resting on a base of stylized waves. It is accompanied by its original red cardboard storage box featuring a repetitive black and red floral pattern.
Completing the set are two small bowls: a footed cloisonné enamel bowl with a red ground decorated with bird and floral motifs in fine wire-work, and a shallow porcelain bowl. The porcelain bowl features a cream-colored ground decorated with a chrysanthemum and foliage pattern in pink, green, and gold tones. No maker’s marks, signatures, or inscriptions are visible on any of the items.
