VAT included. Sold under the margin scheme for second-hand goods — no VAT is shown separately.
A beautiful three-piece set consisting of a vase, a footed bowl, and a small lidded box, made of brass with colorful enameled decoration. The items are crafted using the champlevé technique (related to cloisonné), where enamel fills recessed or engraved areas in the metal. The vase and box are adorned with peacocks and flowering branches against a textured grey-purple background, while the oval bowl features a distinct floral pattern against an orange base. The set is a fine example of Asian metal craftsmanship and creates a highly decorative ensemble.
