📜 Description Fine Chinese Porcelain cup dating to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, decorated in delicate Famille Rose enamels.

The exterior is painted with a large pink Peony bloom accompanied by smaller flowers and leafy sprays in green, yellow, blue, and iron-red tones. The rim is bordered with a colorful band of stylized floral and scroll motifs.

The interior features a single iron-red floral motif at the center. The cup has a simple loop handle and slightly flared rim. No reign mark visible to the base.

Collector’s Notes: The Qianlong era (1736–1795) represents a high point of technical refinement in Famille Rose enameling. The Peony symbolizes prosperity and honor in Chinese culture. Cups of this type were used in refined tea services and are appreciated today for their elegant proportions and vibrant 18th Century enamel palette.

🔍 Condition FAIR ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) – Rim chipped with hairline crack visible from rim down the body, minor rim fritting and age-related wear to enamels. Please review the photos carefully for more details.
