A pair of small cloisonné enameled metal vases. Qianlong

Each shaped as a ripe pomegranate with a foliate edge to the spreading neck that rises from a globular body covered in a turquoise ground and inlaid with richly hued enamels forming a classic lotus flower and leafy scroll design, some of the exposed metal surfaces finished in gilt.  4in (10cm) high. Estimate: $10,000 - 15,000
