Coffee Can Blue and White "Peony & Bamboo" Bow Porcelain, circa 1754

An early coffee can, painted in under-glaze blue with peonies and bamboo. The painting links with the William Pether 1754 jug.
The decoration is taken directly from Chinese examples, and was intended to compete with Chinese imports.
Peonies and bamboo are both commonly depicted in Chinese porcelain decoration. Peonies, also known as the "king of flowers," are often depicted in Chinese art as a symbol of wealth, nobility, and good fortune. Bamboo, on the other hand, is a symbol of integrity, resilience, and longevity. Together, peonies and bamboo are often used to symbolize the harmonious balance between wealth and integrity.
