🆔 Inventory CodeINV3750 Ⓜ️ MaterialPorcelain 🏳️ OriginChina 🏛️ PeriodQianlong – 18th Century 🅂 SubjectFamille Rose floral bouquet with Peony and scattered Butterflies 🏷️ MarkedUnmarked 📜 Description Fine Chinese Porcelain cup from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, delicately decorated in vibrant Famille Rose enamels.

The exterior features a central floral spray with richly detailed Peony blossoms and smaller flowers, accompanied by finely painted Butterflies in flight. The body shows a subtle molded lattice pattern beneath the glaze.

The interior rim is decorated with an underglaze blue border. The cup has a shaped handle and a gently flared rim with brown dressing. No reign mark visible to the base.

Collector’s Notes: During the Qianlong reign (1736–1795), Famille Rose enamels reached exceptional technical refinement. The Peony symbolizes wealth and honor, while Butterflies represent joy and longevity. Cups of this type were often part of refined tea services and are valued for their elegant form and delicate enamel work characteristic of the 18th Century. 🔍 Condition
