AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Chinese export porcelain milk jug with gilded monogram "AR" – Qianlong period (1736–1795).
Elegant Chinese export porcelain milk jug from the Qianlong period (1736–1795), manufactured for the European market. The eight-sided baluster-shaped jug features a gracefully formed pouring spout and a characteristic handle, richly executed in underglaze blue with fine polychrome enamels and gilded details.
Centrally on both sides sits a finely executed gilded mirror monogram, probably the letters "AR", placed within a blue underglaze cartouche. The jug is further decorated with delicate sprays of flowers in pink, purple and green, combined with a decorative blue-painted border along the wavy lip. The combination of underglaze blue, famille rose enamel colors, and gilding is characteristic of high-quality Chinese export porcelain from the second half of the 18th century.
Monogram pieces like this were specially made for wealthy European commissioners and are today cherished by collectors for their historical and decorative character.
