Circa 1730 Chinese Export Famille Rose Very Unusual and Very Large Mandarin Palette Mug/Tankard with Tobacco Leaf, Red and Gold, Circa 1730. The tankard has many nice attributes including a stylized dragon motiff in red along the spine of the handle, four tobacco leaves flanking the handle terminals and a host of other symbols. Their are several clusters of pine, prunus (wild plum trees) and rocks that denote simplicity, longevity and late winter. The age of this tankard is between 1720-1745 which means it is either late Kangxi (K'ang-hsi), Yongzheng (Yung-cheng) or Early Quianlong (Ch'ien-lung). If any Chinese Export Collector can refine this please let me know. This Tankard measures over 5 1/2" in height and the diameter at the top opening is 5". This is a mug of not only a unusual decoration but very different colors than we have had in the mandarin palette. We have never seen a mug with the tobacco leaf pattern included into a pattern of the mandarin palette mug. Gold background with some normal wear and a large scene of four figures under a tree and encircled with a vine of flowers and tobacco leaves. On each side of this landscape scene is a house and mountain scene in the lotus color. This complete scene covers about 75% of the mug. The last quadrant which is on each side of the handle has a rose with tobacco leaves. The top border of blue and white might mean that it was made for the english market. The bottom of the mug has a orange like border. Their is a firing mark on the inside of the handle. Also in the eighth image, the brown spot on the base of the mug must have been in the making. Very Good Condition. No Restoration.   « Less
