Kangxi to Yongzheng turquoise glazed biscuit scholars objects in late 18th or early 19th century French gilt mounts. Exceptional Chinese export ware, which was made very popular during the later 18th century by Marie Antoinette who favored gold and turquoise decor and had many such pieces made.

moreGilt wear is minimal, however frequently touched areas show the most. The stamen of one flower is missing, as are the feet it was drilled for. Also the sand caster or liner is missing from the left well, I do think a caster not a liner myself, as the mount is undisturbed and I see no way to remove a liner without undoing the mount. Possibly and old chip repaired on the underside, about 1” from the middle foot to the right, under uv light a .25”x.25” area glows light blue but not brightly, also it seems not reactive so it may or may not be. less
