Qianlong Chinese Famille Rose Porcelain Mug

18th century
For Sale by TJR Trading
Description

This is an 18th Century Chinese porcelain mug dating from the rule of Emperor Qianlong (1736-1795). It is hand painted with enamels in the famille rose palette.

The body of the mug is painted with a central reserve depicting two groups of figures. There are four small circular reserves painted with flowers, and another reserve around the handle painted with birds amongst foliage. The reserves have red line borders. The handle is of a simple loop form.

There is a chip to the rim which has created two horizontal cracks. There is a crack to the handle, which has had some restoration. There is wear and fading to quite a lot of the enamel, particularly to the eyes of the figures, the red borders and anything picked out in grey. There are only traces of gilded borders.

FAQs

Famille Rose refers to Chinese porcelain decorated with opaque pink enamels containing gold, introduced during the 18th century in the Qing dynasty. These pieces were frequently produced specifically for export to Western markets, featuring European functional shapes combined with traditional Chinese iconography.

These items were crafted from high-fired kaolin clay (porcelain) and decorated using overglaze enamel painting. The body was fired at high temperatures first, followed by meticulous hand-painting with mineral-based enamels and a secondary lower-temperature firing to set the colours.

Authentic pieces generally display minor irregularities in the porcelain body, hand-painted brushwork with slight variations, unglazed foot rims showing smooth white clay, and characteristic wear or light oxidisation on the overglaze enamels consistent with age.

This type of decorative vessel is best displayed on a open bookshelf, inside a glass-fronted cabinet, or centrally positioned on a sideboard. Grouping it alongside complimentary ceramics or contrasting modern books creates a curated, historical focus.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent applied with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges, chemical solvents, or soaking, as overglaze enamels and gilding can be rubbed away or damaged by harsh treatment.
