About the Item
Chinese Export Porcelain Large Canton Temple Jar,
American Market,
Daoguang,
First Quarter 19th Century
A handsome Chinese Export Canton Large Temple Jar, produced for the American market during the Daoguang period in the first quarter of the 19th century. This piece is a testament to the flourishing trade between China and the United States during this era, with porcelain being a significant and highly prized commodity.
The jar is distinguished by its very finely painted design, a hallmark of the superior quality export wares of the period. The body is adorned with panels featuring meticulously rendered landscape and figural scenes. These panels depict courtly life, with male and female figures attired in vibrant famille rose enamels, set against lush garden backdrops. The intricate borders that frame these scenes further enhance the jar's decorative appeal, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship of the Canton workshops. The famille rose palette, with its characteristic opaque pinks and soft hues, was exceptionally popular in the West and allowed for a greater degree of naturalism and detail in the painted decoration.
Of particular note is the presence of a gilded monogram, "WFA," set within an oval white panel on each side of the jar. The inclusion of a personalized monogram is a definitive indication that this vessel was a special commission, crafted expressly for a prominent American client. While the identity of the individual or family bearing these initials is not presently known, such bespoke pieces were a luxury afforded by the affluent and are a fascinating reflection of the American elite's engagement with the global market of the early 19th century. This temple jar stands as a significant example of the cultural and commercial exchange that defined the China Trade.
Dimensions: 26 inches high x 14 inch diameter.
