A hole near the spine suggests it once held incense, placed beneath the base before a cushion was added. Made in early eighteenth-century China for export, it was later adorned in France with gilded bronze mounts, glass eyes, and a low stool with a richly decorated cushion. Owned by the Marquise de Pompadour, it exemplifies the refined taste of elite European collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSource Object:\u003cbr\u003eTitle:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eCat\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist\/Maker: Unknown\u003cbr\u003eCultures: Chinese and French\u003cbr\u003ePlace: China and France\u003cbr\u003eDate: 1700–1755\u003cbr\u003eMedium: Porcelain, glass, and gilded bronze\u003cbr\u003eObject Number: 2024.127\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 45 × W: 30 × D: 22 cm\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e(17 11⁄16 × 11 13⁄16 × 8 11⁄16 in.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e© 2025 J.
