Fine Pair Chinese Export Porcelain Saucers. Qing Dynasty, Qianlong. 1736 - 1795.

18th century
Description

Fine Matching Pair of Chinese Export porcelain saucers. Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period. 1736 - 1795.

Highly refined and exquisitely enameled matching famille rose porcelain saucers. Masterfully painted in vibrant famille rose enamels. Exhibiting fine and superior-quality narrative painted scenes. Depicting family life, mandarin officials, scholars, harbour scenes, and cartouches with finely painted buildings and bridges. The attention to detail in the colourful clothing and formal costumes is superb. The visual storytelling portraying themes of education, wisdom, and hierarchy in Qing society, amidst virtues of every-day life.

The gilded rococo-style scrolling borders and diaper decoration framing the figural panels are finely executed with rich gold accents, adding a luxurious touch typical of imperial-quality famille rose porcelain.The superior quality of enameling, delicate brushwork, and gilded detailing suggests these saucers were possibly produced in the prestigious Jingdezhen kilns for high-ranking officials or the export market catering to European aristocrats. These examples demonstrate artistic refinement closer to Yongzheng-period famille rose pieces. Superb.

Dimensions: (both the same size)

Diameter = 12.5cm

Depth = 3cm.

Condition: Near perfect, with no hairlines. Some very minor frits to edges. Beautifully rich colours. No restoration.

This set of four circular Chinese export porcelain saucers dates from the 18th century Qing Dynasty, specifically the Qianlong period between 1736 and 1795. Each 3 cm high, 12.5 cm wide and 12.5 cm deep saucer is made from porcelain and decorated with polychrome enamels in orange and pink, alongside a geometric diaper pattern border and mandarin figures positioned within pavilion architecture. The hand-painted interior scenes depict daily life and scholarly narratives, accented by rococo-style scrolling details and harbour views across the surface. Placed on a sideboard top, these saucers bring an English Country House aesthetic to interior spaces as decorative display pieces. The near-perfect condition includes minor frits to the edges without hairlines or restoration, displaying vibrant enamel colours and intricate figural costume details.

FAQs

Chinese export porcelain refers to ceramic items produced in China specifically for export to European and North American markets during the Qing Dynasty, particularly throughout the 18th century.

These items were crafted from kaolin clay fired at high temperatures to form hard-paste porcelain, after which artisans applied hand-painted overglaze polychrome enamels and gilding prior to a second firing.

Authentic Qianlong period ceramics typically feature hand-painted Mandarin figure scenes, detailed diaper pattern borders, orange iron-red or rose-pink enamels, and subtle foot rim wear consistent with historical hand production.

Small porcelain saucers can be displayed on acrylic or brass stands inside a glass bookcase, arranged as a decorative wall grouping, or set upon a sideboard top to add colour and pattern.

Enamelled porcelain should be cleaned gently using a soft microfibre cloth and lukewarm water with mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade overglaze decoration.
