Qianlong Chinese Famille Vert Porcelain Mug

18th century
For Sale by TJR Trading
Description

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

The mug has a large central reserve depicting four figures. There are four smaller reserves with foliate motifs, and a large reserve around the handle decorated with two floral sprays. In between the reserves is gilded and hash patterns. The mug has a simple handle.

There is a chip to the inside rim of the mug measuring 5mm wide. There looks to be a similar chip on the rim but it is not a chip, just a lack of pigment. There is a hairline crack running down the side of the mug from the rim, which forks into two further hairline cracks. From the crack there are some losses by the head of one of the figures. It looks as though the white on the feet and on the paper on the table in the reserve may have been overpainted. There is wear to some of the enamel, and significant wear to the gilding.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Produced during the reign of Emperor Qianlong (17361796), this porcelain was crafted specifically for Western markets, blending traditional Chinese potting techniques and motifs with European vessel shapes such as beer mugs and tankards.

These pieces were formed from refined kaolin clay fired at high temperatures, then decorated using overglaze enamels and fired a second time in a muffle kiln to fix the palette.

Authentic examples typically feature hand-painted cartouche panels, slightly irregular hand-formed loop handles, subtle wheel-thrown potting ridges, and light firing imperfections consistent with period manufacture.

These decorative vessels function well displayed on open shelving, curated within glass-front cabinet displays, or positioned on a desk surface as a accent object.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and mild detergent with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive pads, chemical cleaners, or immersion of pieces with unglazed bases.
