DESCRIPTION

A decorative 19th century Chinese Qing Dynasty porcelain teapot of compact cylindrical form, painted in the Canton famille rose palette. The body is densely decorated with alternating figural and floral panels surrounded by scrolling green foliage, butterflies, birds, flowers and extensive gilt ornament. Mandarin-style court figures appear within shaped reserves, while the floral medallions and richly colored enamels create the characteristic elaborate appearance associated with Canton export porcelain. The teapot has a long curved spout and an applied loop handle, with further enamel decoration around the shoulder.

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Canton famille rose porcelain became particularly popular during the 19th century, when richly enameled Chinese wares were produced for domestic and export markets. Figural scenes combined with birds, flowers, butterflies and gilding are characteristic collecting features of this decorative tradition.
