AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Kangxi-period porcelain cream jug (1662-1722). It features a Chinese Imari-style floral decoration, using a classical palette of underglaze blue, iron red, and gilded highlights. The motifs of blooming peonies and foliage are typical of the period.

A bulbous silhouette, so-called "pear-shaped", inspired by eighteenth-century European silversmithing forms.

Double twisted handle: The most remarkable feature is its bifid (double) handle composed of two interlaced strands, ending in foliate or floral mounts. This detail is characteristic of high-quality pieces influenced by the era's silverware patterns.
