Description from the seller
A hand-painted Chinese blue-and-white porcelain export teacup saucer from the Kangxi period (c. 1710), Qing Dynasty. Produced in Jingdezhen and historically originating from a maritime find / shipwreck site (Bintan / Ca Mau type).
Decoration: The front is decorated with an asymmetrical, refined floral garden motif consisting of chrysanthemums, a stylized rock outcrop and a flying insect.
Mark: The back shows the rare and sought-after abstract "Double Fish" symbol mark in underglaze blue within a double circle. This symbol stands for wealth, abundance and harmony, and was used at the time as an alternative mark due to the emperor's name ban.
Dimensions:
• Diameter: 12 cm
• Height: 3 cm
Weight 112 g
Condition: Good antique condition appropriate for age and shipwreck origin. The unglazed stand ring shows the characteristic orange-brown iron-oxide staining ("nutmeg"). The rim shows light, superficial edge wear (fritting / "mouse bites") and the stand ring has a small chip (free of restorations or hairlines). See photos for a full impression.
