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).
6.3", 5.5" and 4.3" in diameter; 2.8", 2.5" and 2.1" high. Very good condition no chips hairlines cracks or repairs. These bowls came out of China in the early 1980s when nice "old" things could still be found in the Friendship stores. It was another time. The wax seals are those of the State export control in Shanghai. This is a wonderful set which I guarantee is authentically about 100 years old right on the border of vintage and antique. The ceramic is high quality the rooster signifies strength the peony symbolizes prosperity and the mark reads good fortune and many years. |
