According to a discussion in B.Quette, Cloisonné: Chinese Enamels from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, New York, 2011, it appears it was common practice in the Qing Dynasty to re-model cloisonné enamel pieces of the preceding dynasties with gilt bronze mounts. Whilst the present lot has had two extra, well-cast beast mask handles added, unusually it has managed to retain its original tripod legs.
