Tea caddy/ box - Porcelain - Kangxi (1662-1722)

Fine blue-and-white Chinese porcelain tea caddy, made in Jingdezhen during the Kangxi period (1662–1722). The vessel is decorated with scrolling flowers and insects, arranged in three horizontal bands. The central band features relief-moulded lines. The hallmarked silver mount, bearing a sword mark, is a later Dutch addition dating to the 19th century. The mount features a floral finial that complements the decoration on the vessel very well. Overall, very high quality and of unusually large size.

Condition: very good, with only a small chip to the interior of the foot ring (see photographs).

Origin: private Dutch collection

Dimensions: 25,5 cm (height) x 9 (ø foot) cm
