Zhou Chunbing’s 周春兵 2022 book Enamel Bureau: Research and Collection of Famous Cloisonné Workshops in Modern China 珐琅局: 中国近代景泰蓝名作坊研究与收藏 features a discussion in Chapter 2 of the mysterious 19th century Tian Li workshop.
One of the character seals of Tian
Li works is shown in figure 1-2-12 on page 52 of the book, but the cloisonne
bowl to which it is attached is not shown. I thought readers might be
interested in what this elaborate floral dragon and fenghuang lobed bowl looks like, as
archived on the Liveauctioneers website:

UPDATE: Another signed Tian Li work showed up, an elaborate dragon bowl sold at auction in California in 2016. The logo is quoted on page 51, figure 1-2-11 in Zhou's book.
UPDATE: An alert reader spotted another Tian Li marked piece on offer at a Chinese auction (July 2026). 11cm across, 10cm high, weighs 700g (heavy)
