Chinese Porcelain Tea Cups Falangcai Enamel Insects Flowers Shende Tang 19c-20c
About the Item
A pair of exquisite falangcai enamelled Chinese porcelain tea cups, dating back to the transitional period from the late Qing dynasty to the early Republic period, circa late 19th to early 20th century. These cups are a true embodiment of the artistic finesse and craftsmanship that characterized this vibrant era in Chinese porcelain artistry.
Each cup is finely potted, boasting thin walls that are a testament to the skill and precision of the artisans of the time. The delicate structure of the cups serves as a canvas for a rich and intricate narrative, where each cup features a finely painted scene of an insect amidst blooming flowers, a poetic representation of nature's harmony and beauty.
Adding a layer of depth and sophistication to these pieces are poetic verses, gracefully inscribed alongside the vibrant imagery, offering a glimpse into the rich literary tradition of China. These verses are accompanied by three seal marks, adding an element of authenticity and historical connection to the cups.
Further enhancing the cups' allure is the four-character "Shen De Tang Zhi" ("Shende Hall Made") script mark, elegantly positioned at the base in a vibrant iron red hue, within the sunken footring. This mark which translates into 'Made for the Hall of Prudent Virtue', is a hallmark of quality and craftsmanship, connects these cups to a lineage of fine porcelain production for imperial consumption, adding a layer of narrative richness and historical significance to the pieces.
Whether enjoyed for a serene tea ceremony or displayed as part of a curated collection, these enamelled porcelain tea cups stand as a beacon of the artistic excellence and cultural richness of that period, promising to be a treasured addition to any collection of fine art.
