[Bamboo Carved Tripod with Cloud and Thunder Patterns]

Bamboo Carved Tripod with Cloud and Thunder Patterns, in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, has a height of 12.7 centimeters and a caliber of 12.4 centimeters
This utensil is modeled after a bronze tripod with three legs during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is in the form of a round tripod, with a small shape, a slightly closed mouth, two upright ears, a straight belly, a nearly flat bottom, and three legs. Double standing ears in the cloud head style, each decorated with a variant lotus flower. The outer edge of the device is decorated with two turns of string patterns, the body is decorated with cloud and thunder patterns, and the bottom surface is smooth. The three feet are used in the three toed animal foot style, and are decorated with various Ruyi head patterns. The lid of the tripod is made of a mother and son mouth, and the top of the lid is hollowed out. Two dragons are carved to play with each other. Three small beasts are carved around the top of the tripod, making it both decorative and convenient to open the lid
In the mid Qing Dynasty, the antique style prevailed for a while, and this device was made at this time. The shape of the vessel is similar to that of a tripod, while the material, pattern, and decorative layout are completely different. They are deep and dignified, but tend to be lively and lovely, reflecting the artistic characteristics of antique bamboo in the Qing Dynasty.
