Pair of Blue and White China, Chinese Porcelain Goblets, 19th Century
The whole reputation of Chinese porcelain takes shape in these little tea cups. The translucency and finesse of the dough and the delicacy of the all-over blue and white decoration with a motif of birds, butterflies and chrysanthemums make these goblets very beautiful Asian art objects.
he symbolism of Chinese decorations may be referring here to summer with butterflies. Autumn is embodied by the chrysanthemum – a symbol of perseverance and virtue – which is also a flower regularly associated with the scholar. The difficulty of identifying the bird does not make it possible to know if this decoration is one of the decorative themes “flowers and birds of the four seasons”; the quail associated with the chrysanthemum forms the decoration associated with autumn. Signature under the base, very good condition.
