Circa 1840 Chinese Export Blue Canton creamer. This is the smallest size blue canton creamer jug that I have run across. It is a known form but not a known size. It measures 3" from mouth of spout to base bottom. It measures also 3" from top of handle to spout. Some fritting around the spout whiuch is inevitable for a creamer that is over 150 years old. Nice rain and cloud border. Good Dark Blue Color.   « Less

In its original silk-lined teak presentation box is this finely detailed three-footed silver bearing the hallmark of noted Canton silversmith Gem Wo and the mark of highest purity. Cast feet in neo-Rococo style contrast with the strongly Chinese elements of bamboo leaves on the border and a central stylized scene of craggy mountains rising above land and water below. Weighing about 13.5 ounces and being about nine inches in diameter and 1-1/2 inches high, the piece is an extraordinary example of China Trade merchandise. A label on the inside repeats information inscribed on the outside of the box. Circa 1850-1860.   « Less

Circa 1820-1840 Chinese Export Rare Sacred Bird and Butterfly Soup Tureen Complete with Underplate and Cover. The dimension of the Cover is 11 3/8" X 9". The cover also has a beautiful gilded mushroom finial. The undertray has a few firing marks that occured in the making and is quite normal in these chinese export pieces from this time period. The dimension of the undertray is 14 1/4" X 11 3/4" and is 2 1/8" in depth. The Tureen is 14" from handle to handle and the opening measures 8" X 10". This is the first tureen in this lovely pattern that we have had in over 10 years. Fresh out of a house in the Midwest. Complete with undertray which is very unusual in any kind of porcelain as it seems that pieces get split up in families. This tureen is in fairly decent condition with a few exceptions. The images that I have uploaded, I have tried to show a few minor imperfections. The underplate has a small nick and a hairline. Both of those minor items can be restored very easily. The gilded handles have wear and minor abrasions that might even be in the making.   « Less
