About the Item
This charming Chinese export porcelain pitcher was hand painted circa 1770.
It captures a bit of elegance and whimsy in 18th-century Chinese export design.
Known as a "sparrow beak" pitcher for the distinctive shape of its narrow spout, this petite vessel was prized for serving cream or sauces at refined Eiropean tea tables of the period.
It is beautifully hand-painted in the famille verte palette, with lively brushwork depicting birds perched on flowering branches and a delicate butterfly hovering nearby.
Rusty orange chrysanthemums, fresh green leaves, and touches of turquoise lend the piece both vibrancy and grace.
The glaze is lustrous, and the porcelain body is thinly potted—hallmarks of high-quality Chinese export ware from the mid-18th century.
Today, this small pitcher offers a tangible connection to the elegant rituals of 18th-century European tea service and table presentation.
