Two Kangxi-era Chinese porcelain coffee cups with handles, a small handleless teacup, and a saucer, all in a floral Imari-style underglaze of red iron and blue with subtle gold accents, measuring 7 × 10 × 7 cm for the cups, 3.8 × 6.5 cm for the teacup, and 1.8 × 10 cm for the saucer, dating to circa 1700–1750 and exported for Europe.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The ensemble features a lush floral decor typical of the period. You can see stylized lotus or peony flowers painted in a characteristic palette of underglaze iron red and blue, enhanced with subtle touches of gold (often called the Chinese Imari style when it imitates the Japanese productions of the time).

Three coffee cups (or chocolate cups) with handles. 7×10×7 cm

A small teacup (without a handle). 3.8×6.5 cm

Saucer attached. 1.8×10 cm

This Chinese porcelain set is a fine example of the production intended for export to Europe at the end of the 17th century or the beginning of the 18th century.

Carefully packaged and shipped worldwide.
