Hand Warmer
Not on view
Painted enamel was originally limited to European-style objects, but later became a popular design element for traditional products in the Chinese domestic market, such as hand warmers. Made to hold glowing pieces of charcoal embedded in ash (and sometimes incense for a pleasant fragrance), this vessel would have been a source of comfort on a cold day.
