A
Chinese Blanc-de-chine Cup
c.1760. |
An
attractive Chinese Blanc-de-chine cup. The press moulded lobed
body applied with leaves, tendrils and berries (grapes?).
Unusually the cup is made in what appears to be a type of soft
paste porcelain that is not translucent. Then applied with
a thick creamy glaze. It almost seems like tin glazed
earthenware. Measures 8cm. x 6.8cm. at the rim and 4.2cm.
high. There
are no marks.
|
Condition
There is a small chip to the
edge of the rim. a few small losses to the applied leaves and
tendrils and some firing cracks.

A Rare Chinese Armorial Plate.
c.1725-30. |
A rare Chinese Armorial plate. Superbly decorated in
underglaze blue to the rim and cavetto. The centre decorated
with a large and impressive coat of arms. I believe the
arms are those of Alexander quartering Bennet. The upper rim has
a family crest.

Condition
Very badly damage
and with old stapled repairs. Some inevitable wear to the
enamels and gilding. Nonetheless an impressive armorial
plate that still displays quite well.
