Circa 1770 Chinese Export Mandarin Palette Tea Poy of Superb Quality. This bulbulous shape and form with the gilded rock work on the base is of Magnificent Quality. Tea poys of this shape and form are rare to find with such finely detailed painting and artwork with wonderful gold highlighting. This tea caddy has a silver top which was probably added in the early 1800's because the standard tiny covers are so small they either get lost or damaged. There is one chip on the rim that the cover hides which we have shown in one of the images. This small chip and some slight gilding loss does not detract from the beauty of this great tea caddy. Other than what I have mentioned this tea poy is in good condition with no cracks or restoration. It measures 4 1/2" in height.   « Less

Circa 1770 Chinese Export Mandarin Palette Deep Saucer of Great Quality with no damage or restoration. The best quality. This saucer measures 5 1/2" in diameter and 1 3/8" in height. The central scene of mandarin figures in a outdoor scene with a tree and houses in the background is of very good quality as we have become to expect of the Early to Middle 18th Century hard paste porcelain from China which was made for export to the western world. Very little in the figure scene and the borders within that scene and around the edge of the saucer has no wear that I can find. Also nicely painted flowers separating the scene and the edge of the saucer. Not only Excellent Quality, but no chips, cracks or repairs.   « Less

We have in our inventory, 10--19TH Century Chinese Export Blue Canton Dinner Plates measuring 9 3/4"-10" in diameter. They all have chips, nicks, and one had been broken and repaired by old stapling method. All these plates are 19th century. NO NEW CANTON. This will be sold as one lot--$500.00 Plus Shipping. FINAL PRICE!!! We are showing each dinner plate on our web site. #1-#10!! #10 is the plate that has been stapled. #'s 6 thru 9 are all about the same coloring and on a average each have 2-3 chips. #'s 3,4, and 5 are darker and are a deeper plate, almost like a shallow soup plate and each of these have 1 or 2 chips. #'s 1 and 2 are a lighter blue and more crudely made and have no visable chips--maybe just a tiny rough edge. All of these plates are definetely from the 1800's and are not the modern day reproductions that are flooding the market made in china. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE DIFFERENT COLORING IN BLUE AND CHIPS, ETC. THEY WOULD REALLY SHOW OFF A CORNER CUPBOARD or other ways of decorating in the home.   « Less

C. 1775 Chinese Export Famille Rose Acrobatic Mandarin pattern Cup and Saucer,of most unusual subject matter in very good condition. Rare and Scarce. Never Seen this Pattern!!! This fine detailed painting was done by a very good artist and great perception in the 1700's, not to mention the superb molded and ribbed form, which is a masterpiece set in the chinese export pattern. Very well painted on both the cup and saucer is a scene of a acrobat on a tightrope walker with two figures cheering him on with their act as entertainers of the court. This scene is painted very nicely on both the cup and saucer The saucer measures 5" in diameter and 1" in depth and has no chips or cracks but does have a tiny hairline which is so tight and small it is hardly noticeable. The cup measures 2" in depth and is 3" in diameter. Excellent Condition with no chips, cracks or restoration.   « Less

Circa 1890-1920 Eight Carved Chinese Ivory Buddhist lohans. These might even be referred to as THE EIGHT IMMORTALS. All eight are holding different musical instruments. Guaranteed to be antique and not a reproduction. I am very comfortable dating them between 1890-1920, but leaning more to 1920 BUT No Later. The Color is Good--Natural Color. Not stained or bleached. Ivory is not something we are a Expert on as we are in Chinese Export Porcelain. So I sent these ivory figures to a ivory collector who has been collecting for over 35 years. These pieces measure 3 1/4"-3 1/2" in height. Our collector friend evaluates these ivory figures as a "B" stating that the quality of the faces are better than the figures.   « Less
