A nice pair of 19th century Chinese famille rose wine cups. Each cup bears auspicious symbols, a pair of fish for prosperity and other objects from the scholar's study. These fish are simply drawn and fun. These cups are actually quite popular in the study where friends would drink and compete in poetry couplets for example.
2.5" high and 2.25" diameter. One cup has inside repair with hairline showing (see picture). Overglazed red marks of Tongzhi reign, 1862-1874, and of ...click for details

The poem alludes to the pleasures and the freedom of enjoying the autumn pleasure on Feng Lai, a mythical Island over the ocean inhabited by immortal beings who have endless banquets and poetry contests. In folklore, Feng Lai was often thought to be Taiwan. The poem, foliage, colors and bats enrich each other in the allusions. Stitched signature and seal mark.

A wonderful set of 3 nesting bowls in a classic Chinese famille rose palette. The design is that of a crowing rooster perched on a strange Suzhou scholar's rock and amidst a garden of spring peonies. Everything beautifully and meticulously hand painted with super detail. About 1880-1920, very fine white and transluscent porcelain. Private mark (see below) in red overglaze. This is a known mark of the period. Also a Chinese export wax seal (see below).
