A set of four cups, China, presumably Republic.

Decorated with a boy, rooster, hen and chickens as well as a long story. Two with Qianlong underglaze sealmark, two with overglaze sealmark. Height 7-7,3 cm.

Wear.

Provenance

From the Collection of Rut Nordström, a Swedish Antique dealer in Stockholm opening her store in the 1950's. Situated at Munkbron in Old Town. Thence by descent.

Literature

Compare a similar example illustrated by Rosemary Scott; For the Imperial Court, Qing Porcelain from the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, p 98, pl. 33.

More information

The inscription refers to the wonders of earlier ceramics, especially of the Xuande period and the chicken cups of the Chenghua period. It praises the skill of enamelling.
