The present lot is extremely rare. Cloisonné enamel baskets represent a remarkable fusion of artistic techniques and cultural influences. These baskets are characterized by intricate sections of openwork, together with enamelled surfaces creating intricate designs and patterns.

The subject of a basket of flowers was a popular design during the 18th century and can be seen in many of the decorative arts of China; it may be related to the Daoist Immortal Lan Caihe whose attribute is a basket of flowers. The flower basket, serves as a poignant symbol of the Immortal's spiritual journey and connection to the natural world. As an enigmatic figure embodying transcendence and enlightenment, Lan Caihe's ragged attire and playful demeanour are complemented by the graceful presence of the flower basket. This iconic attribute represents more than mere adornment; it encapsulates profound themes of purity, renewal, and the ephemeral beauty of life. The flower basket, brimming with blossoms of vibrant hues, embodies the essence of vitality and the eternal cycle of growth and decay.

See a related hanging cloisonné enamel flower basket but with broader flat top, second half 17th century, but with similar decoration, illustrated by H.Brinker and A.Lutz, Chinese Cloisonné: The Pierre Uldry Collection, London, 1989, no.161.

Compare with a very similar cloisonné enamel and gilt-bronze basket, 17th century, which was sold at Sotheby's London, 13 May 2015, lot 308.
