Late Qing Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Teacup, Circa 1880

Late Qing Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Teacup, Circa 1880 A small Chinese porcelain teacup dating to the late Qing Dynasty, circa 1880. Finely potted in a tapering form with a recessed foot, and hand-painted in underglaze cobalt blue with a continuous landscape scene featuring stylised foliage, architectural forms and brushwork details. The base is unglazed within the footrim, with typical firing grit and age-toning. The glaze shows light wear and natural imperfections, including an old chip to the rim and minor kiln flaws commensurate with age and use. A good example of late Qing provincial ware, suitable for display or use. Dimensions: Width: 5.2 cm Height: 4 cm Condition: Old rim chip and typical firing flaws. Structurally sound.
