Chinese Porcelain Famille Rose Fencai Peach Sage Ewer Fu Jian Hui Guan Mark 20c
Located in Richmond, CA
Step into a vivid chapter of Chinese history with this exquisite Chinese vintage porcelain polychrome ewer, a piece that embodies the rich cultural and artistic tapestry of the late Qing to early Republic period. The ewer presents itself as a large, vibrant peach, a symbol of longevity and immortality in Chinese culture, offering a visual treat with its intricate detailing and vibrant hues.
Beside the peach sits a bearded sage in robes, a figure that brings a touch of wisdom and reverence to the piece. The sage, depicted in a contemplative pose, adds a layer of narrative depth to the ewer, inviting viewers to delve into the stories and philosophies of ancient China. The ewer's handle and spout, crafted to resemble branches, blend seamlessly with the overall design, adding a touch of natural elegance to the piece.
A significant highlight of this ewer is the apocryphal "Fu Jian Hui Guan" seal mark found on its flat bottom, a mark that evokes a rich history. The original Fu Jian Hui Guan, also known as the Tianhou Xinggong, is a closed classical temple built in 1884 and completed in 1906, serving as a place of worship for the sea goddess Mazu, showcasing the typical Minnan style. This establishment, popular among overseas Chinese communities, particularly in Southeast Asia, became a hub for the creation of porcelain sculptures, often depicting deities, under the influence of renowned artists like You Zechang. These creations, distinct in style and highly revered, found a cherished place in the hearts of overseas Chinese communities, marking a significant chapter in the history of Chinese porcelain artistry.

Gio Ponti Large Green Vase in Ceramic by Richard Ginori 1930s Italy
Located in Montecatini Terme, IT
Large vase in green ceramic designed by the Italian designer Gio Ponti and manufactured by Richard Ginori between the 1930s and the 1940s.
In this piece, the ceramic was modeled with an elegant and raffinate, flared shape that makes it a perfect decorative vase.
The manufacturer's brand is stamped under the base.
The history of the Ginori Manufactory began in Doccia, just a stone's throw away from Florence, when in 1735 Marquis Carlo Andrea Ginori started a porcelain factory which was destined to become a worldwide icon of style.
The eighteenth-century is a key century for the development of porcelain in Europe, in this period the first manufactures are born, fed by new styles and international trends.
In stately homes, palaces and courtyards, the precious porcelain of the Doccia Manufactory is synonymous with elegance and refinement.
The passage from the nineteenth, the century of reason to that of feeling marks a new chapter in the development of artistic taste and the manufacture of porcelain. Florence becomes the scene of a controversy between the academic supporters of the Beautiful ideal and the naturalists promulgators of the beautiful natural Since 1806 the direction of the Manifattura passed to Leopoldo Carlo Ginori Lisci who initiates a process of profound renewal.
In 1986 The Manifattura expanded and the Richard Ginori Ceramic Company is born. The tradition of master craftsmen meets new technologies and the creations are perfected thanks to the use of new patents
From 1923 to 1933 the artistic direction of the Manifattura was entrusted to Gio Ponti. The master is responsible for introducing highly innovative elements with sensitivity and respect for the taste for the ancient, and for the oriental culture. In 1925 at the Universal Exposition in Paris, the Manifattura and its artistic director were awarded the assignment to both of a Grand Prix.
The Manufactory was renewed by relying on the experience of the greatest Italian designers of the time: Franco Albini, Franca Helg, Antonio Piva, Sergio Asti, Achille Castiglioni, Gabriele Devecchi, Candido Fior...

Antique, New and Vintage Asian Ceramics
With their rich and diverse history, antique, new and vintage Asian ceramics offer colorful and sophisticated ways to add flair to any space.
Japanese pottery dates back at least 13,000 years to the Jōmon period. Pieces from the Late Jōmon era display a rope-cord pattern encircling a pot or jug. During the Muromachi period, potters created simple bowls and utensils frequently used in tea ceremonies and were made as both functional and aesthetic objects.
Ceramics made during Japan’s Meiji period, from 1868 to 1912, reflected an explosion of artistic expression propelled by new access to international trade. Details became more intricate and refined, and colors were enhanced with new glazing practices.
Chinese porcelain, meanwhile, is often identified by its shape. Each reign and dynasty had specific shapes and styles that were encouraged by the imperial ruler. During the Song dynasty, for instance, there were four dominant types of ceramic vase shapes: plum-shaped, pear-shaped, cong-shaped (tall and square) and double-gourd.
Chinese ceramics that were made during the Qing dynasty were demonstrative of an expanded artistic expression, with more delicate shapes and a focus on intricate detailing. The shapes of ceramics from this era are thinner, taller and have subtle features like a gentle flare, such as on the mallet-shaped vase.
Later, the 17th- and 18th-century interior design trend of chinoiserie brought Asian paintings and screens, textiles and other art and furniture from the continent into many European homes.
Explore an extensive range of antique, new and vintage Asian ceramics on 1stDibs to find the perfect piece for your home.
