An attractive and finely decorated example of mid-18th-century Chinese Export Armorial Porcelain, comprising a tea bowl and matching saucer, beautifully decorated in grisaille with the coat of arms of the Norris family, dating to circa 1755.
Produced in China during the Qianlong period for the European export market, this fine armorial porcelain set features the Norris family heraldic achievement prominently displayed to the centre of the saucer and the front of the tea bowl.
This is a particularly appealing example of 18th-century Chinese armorial export porcelain, combining European family heraldry with traditional Chinese porcelain craftsmanship. Such pieces were specially commissioned for prominent European families and are of considerable interest to collectors of Chinese export porcelain, British armorial porcelain and 18th-century heraldic ceramics.
Historical Attribution and Reference
The service has been reordered as probably having been made for Henry Norris.
The example is illustrated and referenced on page 295, plate P14, in David Sanctuary Howard's authoritative publication Chinese Armorial Porcelain, Volume II.
This published reference adds an important point of historical interest and makes the set particularly desirable to collectors and researchers of Chinese armorial porcelain.
Condition
The tea bowl is in excellent condition, free from chips, cracks and hairlines.
The saucer has one very small flake to the underside of the rim, as shown in the accompanying photographs.
Both pieces exhibit minor rubbing to the gilt decoration around the rims, consistent with age and careful use.
Both items retain their old collection labels.
Dimensions
• Tea bowl: Approximately 7 cm diameter x 4.2 cm high.
• Saucer: Approximately 12 cm diameter x 2.7 cm high.
Further Information
An appealing and well-documented matching pair of Chinese Export Armorial Porcelain from the mid-18th century, dating to circa 1755. An excellent addition to a collection of Chinese armorial porcelain, Qianlong-period export ceramics or British family heraldic porcelain.
