AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Decorative Chinese porcelain lid pot, richly crafted in famille-rose colors with a vibrant palette of yellow, turquoise, pink, and gold accents. The pot is decorated all around with floral ornaments, cartouches with birds and blooming plants, and geometric band decorations.
The lid is crowned with a sculpturally crafted foo dog (lion), a traditional protective symbol within Chinese culture.
On both sides of the pot, there are small attached handles.
The whole is hand-painted and clearly intended as a decorative object.
The underside is unsigned.
The style, glaze, and decoration indicate Chinese manufacture for the export market, dating from the 20th century.
Symbolism
Foo-hond (lion): protection, strength, and warding off negative energy.
Birds: happiness, harmony, and freedom
Flowers: prosperity, growth, and beauty
Together, these motifs form a classic positive decorative whole.
Condition
Used condition
Visible hairline crack in the glaze on the inside of the pot (extends across the bottom).
Chip or glaze damage at the edge of the pot.
Glaze chipping and minor superficial damages on the lid (see detail photos).
Some discolorations and signs of use appropriate for the age.
No visible restorations.
The pot is therefore mainly suitable as a decorative object, not for functional use.

Diameter: 18 cm.
Diameter of foot: 14 cm.
Weight: 2.1 kg.
