Summary:	During the Ming era (1368 - 1644), gold objects pervaded the upper echelons of Chinese society. Paintings and literature provide a striking testimony to the use of gold vessels and jewellery in the everyday life of the imperial court and in the palaces of influential families. Goldsmiths gave free rein to their imaginations, designing items of great refinement that attest to their unparalleled knowhow and technical mastery, reflecting the splendour and aesthetic of abundance of this period.
