18th century

Sold by Antique and Unique

Description

An 18th century Chinese blue and white lidded tureen c1780, with stylised figural mask handles to the bowl and a stem type handle to the lid. It is beautifully decorated in underglaze blue with a landscape scene of pagodas, trees, and figures on a bridge.

I have seen the animal head handles on this style of tureen referred to as rabbits, pigs and dragons - I’m not sure what they are meant to be so I’ll leave that up to you!

Condition: The tureen has a firing crack to the bowl, but no other damage or repair. The glaze is a little hazy in places on the bowl.
