AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This porcelain Famille Rose jar from the Daoguang period (1820-1850) of the Qing dynasty features a rich polychrome decoration of peonies, blossoming branches and birds, topped by a frieze of ruyi heads on the shoulder. It rests on a carved wooden base and retains its original lid adorned with a knop-shaped finial.
The object is in generally good condition. A slight firing flaw is noted on the rim of the lid, which does not constitute a crack but a marker of its artisanal manufacture long ago. The base bears an old collection label explicitly mentioning the Tao-Kuan period.
Total weight of the set: approximately 3.433 kg

Maximum diameter: approximately 21 cm
Base diameter: approximately 14.5 cm
Circumference: approximately 72 cm
