Two Sets Blue-and-White 'Four Beauties' Bell Cups & Saucers - Porcelain - China - Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)
Description
A charming pair of matching cup-and-saucer sets, each finely painted in rich, vibrant underglaze blue with the celebrated theme of the Four Beauties — elegant ladies depicted in radial panels amid flowering lotus, foliage and garden elements. The saucers feature a central floral medallion surrounded by alternating figural and botanical scenes within geometric borders; the bell-shaped cups repeat the paneled beauty-and-flower motif in perfect harmony. Well-painted, crisp and highly decorative — a delightful matched pair of tea wares.
