Examples of Chinese ornament, Owen Carter Jones

This image shows plate xiii (= 13). Jones’ original description of this plate from his “description of the plates” (page 9–15), transcribed literally, using jones’ orthography: “from an incense-burner in cloisonné enamel. The flowers are arranged over the surface in equilateral triangles, and are crossed by stems with volute terminations, also triangular, but less formal, which fill up the interstices. ” additional hints by commons users: — the image shows many little scratches, traces of dust etc.;many of these artifacts are already present in the reprint, and must originate either from the original chromolithographic print, or from the offset reproduction process which was needed to produce the reprint.
