This Chinese export Qianlong period sauce boat dates to 1750 and is formed from white porcelain decorated with polychrome enamels and gold leaf. The exterior has a moulded scalloped body alongside a hand-painted coat of arms for the Tomkins family of Weobley, featuring a blue field with three golden pheasants and a crest of a lion. Delicate floral enamels and a gilded bamboo border extend along the side, finished with a smooth white glaze showing minor rubbing consistent with its age. Measuring 6 cm high, 19.5 cm wide, and 10 cm deep, the serveware is compact in scale. Positioned on a sideboard top in an English country house interior, the piece serves as a decorative display object or a refined container for table service. Collectors of Chinese armorial porcelain place such items within dining rooms, living spaces, or display cabinets to highlight historical crests and export craftsmanship. The open spout and curved body offer a practical shape for traditional table use or archival display in a private collection.

FAQs

Chinese export armorial porcelain refers to ceramic tableware manufactured in China during the 17th to 19th centuries specifically for European families, decorated with custom hand-painted heraldic coats of arms.

These vessels were crafted from fine hard-paste kaolin porcelain and finished with clear glaze, overglaze famille rose enamel pigments, and applied gold leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces display hand-enameled brushwork with slight irregularities, minor pinholes or orange-peel texture in the glaze, and natural wear around unglazed foot rims.

Armorial sauce boats and ceramics make excellent display pieces on sideboards, inside lit glass vitrines, or arranged as decorative accents on a mantelpiece.

Clean gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals, hot water, or abrasive sponges to preserve the delicate gilding and overglaze enamels.
