This pair of eighteenth century Chinese export tea bowls originates from the period around 1750 and is formed from fine porcelain with an off-white cream glaze. Each handleless cup displays a flared rim, a smooth footed base, and hand-painted sepia enamel illustrations of greyhounds circling the exterior in shades of brown. One vessel remains in pristine condition, while the companion piece shows a fine hairline fracture on the body. Measuring 5 cm high and 7 cm wide, these small vessels sit comfortably in the hand. Display these decorative ceramic cups upon a bookshelf within an English Country House interior setting, where their detailed animal motifs can be appreciated at close range. They add an understated historical accent to a study, sitting room, or glass-fronted cabinet, pairing naturally with other antique porcelain or curated collections. The traditional craftsmanship and monochrome palette suit neutral or richly panelled room schemes alike, bringing a subtle touch of eighteenth century East Asian export design into a contemporary home.

FAQs

Chinese export porcelain refers to ceramic items manufactured in China specifically for export to Western markets from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries.

These items were crafted using refined kaolin clay and petuntse, high-fired in kilns, and decorated with overglaze or underglaze hand-painted enamels, grisaille, or sepia tones.

Authentic pieces feature characteristics such as hand-drawn line variations, period glaze pinholes or irregularities, unglazed foot rims showing age, and subjects tailored to Western trade tastes.

These small vessels are best displayed inside glass display cabinets, positioned on bookshelves, or styled upon a console table alongside complementary decorative items.

Dust gently using a soft, dry brush, and wash only when necessary with lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding chemical detergents, abrasive sponges, and extreme temperature changes.
