18th Century Cafe au Lait Porcelain Cup with Blue and White Interior

About the Item

18th century porcelain cup, Qianlong period (1735-1796) of the Qing Dynasty. This elegant cup has a nearly iridescent cafe au lait (light brown) exterior glaze and blue and white interior decorated with ribbons and flowers, making a delightful contrast. The flowers, which appear to be chrysanthemums, go around horizontally, shooting up from two vases festooned with ribbons, while a single blossom rests at the bottom of the cup.

  • Annamese Blue and White Porcelain Brushwasher Held by Parrot
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    Blue and white Annamese porcelain brush washer encircled by a parrot. Recovered from the wreck of a 15th century ship off the coast of Hoi An, among a group of sunken porcelain known as the Hoi An Hoard, found 230 feet below the surface of the water. Typical of the Hoi An pieces, the brush washer has a zoomorphic form, decorated with pale cobalt blue and exhibits the signature chalky, slightly ivory white body with a fine glaze. Through very few strokes, the painter evokes a very large personality for a small bird, exhibiting an almost child-like delightfulness. The bird is sharp-eyed and retains a vaguely bemused expression as its hooked beak pushes in the edge of the bowl. The designs on its wing are free, direct and supple. In good condition besides the fading characteristic of shipwreck porcelain...
