Description

Antique Chinese Export Porcelain Mug Tankard Cup Chrysanthemum 18th c.
Nice large Chinese export porcelain mug/tankard. 5.5” high and 4” across the top. There is a crack down one side with a tiny chip atop the crack. The opposite side of the rim has some paint touch up on it. I’m guessing there must have been some flea bites or something there that someone covered up. The porcelain is nice quality. The hand painted decoration is very nice. The chrysanthemum buds are particularly vibrant and attractive. The piece was determined to be 18th century by the dealer who sold it to the estate I bought it from. They were a very wealthy old Boston couple with an old multi million dollar brownstone in one of the wealthiest areas of town. It could be early 19th, I’m no expert in export porcelain. The base has a very old collection sticker on it. As I’m sure any prospective buyer of this item will know, serious wealthy collectors in the 18th and 19th c had personalized stickers, stamps, or seals for their pieces. It’s a nice looking thing and good size one. Ships ASAP! Thanks
