CLASSIFICATION: Famille Rose Style Porcelain Teapot. ATTRIBUTION: Ancient China. Qing Dynasty, 19th Century. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Height: 113 millimeters(4 1/2 inches) Width(including spout) 136 millimeters(5 3/8 inches) Diameter: 103 millimeters(4 1/8 inches) at belly; 57 millimeters(2 1/3 inches) at top lip; 100 millimeters(4 inches) at base. CONDITION: Very good. Entirely intact. There’s an old repair to a rim chip. A little wear consistent with any household item which is a century old. Not flawless, but certainly in an excellent state of preservation. DETAIL: A splendidly preserved. Petite(four-cup, or two mug) hand painted“famille rose” style porcelain teapot so wonderfully characteristic of the very popular export Qing Dynasty porcelain china. The particular style was extremely popular both in England as well as the USA during the 1800’s. This is a wonderful example of this very famous produce. The glaze is entirely intact, a very colorful park setting quite characteristic of Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain. The depiction consists of six different people(including what appears to be one child) seemingly involved in leisure activities in a setting which includes shrubs, a fence, etc. Again, a quite typical depiction of an idyllic park setting. The condition of the pot is very good. There is an old repair(we did not made the repair) to a rim chip at the top rim. You can see it in the photographs. Notwithstanding the repaired chip, the porcelain glaze is otherwise in very good condition, still brightly colored, not oxidized or crackled. There are of course a few minor scuffs, marks, dings, etc. as well as a few of the ordinary potting blemishes(warts, dimples, pimples and pits) again really not noticeable, and quite typical of hand-crafted porcelain of the late Ming/ea

The origins of bronze-working in China are mysterious and deeply rooted in ancient Chinese myths. Metallurgy in all its forms seemed miraculous to the ordinary man. And every object, sword or vessel, was thought to possess a spirit of its own. Those who worked with metals seemed to be wizards with supernatural powers, all the more so because the melting operation was preceded, accompanied, and followed by religious ceremonies, exorcism, and magic rites. Mario Bussagli describes the background to the production of Chinese bronzes in fascinating detail. And explains the significance of the different types of ritual vessel and the symbolism of the stylized decoration. The fine illustrations include objects from the Shang, Chou, Han and T'ang periods, and each is described fully in the accompanying notes. CONDITION: LIKE NEW.
