AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


A charming set of four antique Chinese export porcelain covered cups, dating to the Qianlong period (1736–1795) of the Qing Dynasty.

Each cup is beautifully hand-painted with colourful famille rose floral designs, highlighted with delicate gilt decoration. The floral sprays are rendered in shades of pink, purple, green and iron red, creating an elegant and vibrant composition.

The domed lids are similarly decorated with hand-painted famille rose flowers and gilded details. The lids feature applied, moulded floral finials, adding an attractive three-dimensional decorative element.

These cups are characteristic examples of 18th-century Chinese export porcelain, reflecting the refined craftsmanship and decorative tastes of the Qianlong period.

Dimensions:

* Height: 6.5 cm
* Diameter: 6 cm
* Quantity: 4 cups with 4 lids (8 pieces in total)

Condition:

Two cups are in good condition with no damage. One cup has a short hairline crack, while another has a small chip. Two of the lids have small chips, while the other two are in good condition.
