AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A set of four Qing dynasty porcelain objects, including:
1. Li Taibai teapot
On the base, there is an underglaze inscription reading “李太白” (Li Taibai), referring to Li Bai, the famous Tang dynasty poet—though here it functions as an auspicious or decorative mark rather than a true signature.
Height: 13 cm
Width: 9 cm
2. Two small saucers decorated in the famille rose (fencai) palette with additional ink-style (shuimo) painting
The base bears a four-character iron-red mark reading “江西瓷业公司” (Jiangxi Porcelain Company), a known mark associated with production in Jiangxi province, particularly Jingdezhen, and typically dating to the late Qing to Republic period (early 20th century).
Smaller: Height: 2,5 cm Width: 6,5 cm
Bigger: Height: 2,5 cm Width: 10,5 cm
4. A small Chinese vase of the yuhuchunping (玉壶春瓶) type
Decorated in the famille rose / fencai palette, made in a “folk” manner from thick porcelain, glazed white—so-called popular ware (minyao 民窑).
The decoration features Guanyin with a child (Songzi Guanyin, 送子观音)—Guanyin bestowing offspring (a metaphor for auspiciousness, prosperity, and fertility) on the front, and a butterfly on the reverse, an important symbol of joy and love.
Probably produced in Jingdezhen.
The form is a classic yuhuchunping: a pear-shaped body with a narrow, slightly flaring neck, set on a small foot. This shape already appeared in the Song dynasty but began to be mass-produced during the Qing dynasty.
Height: 14.5 cm
Width: 8 cm
