A good Chinese small sized blue and white decorated export porcelain kendi / ewer, 18th or 19th century. Description:On offer is this attractive Chinese porcelain drinking vessel or kendi, hand decorated in blue on milky white. It is painted with elaborate patterns of two oriental persons, surrounded by flowers and foliage, a bird flying above. The painting is of very high quality, commensurate with the Kangxi period. The same applies to the deep blue colour and the milky white gl...aze. It has an unmarked and unglazed base.
The ewer is in perfect condition without restorations, cracks or chips. This small kendi stands c. 5 3/5 inches (c. 135 mm) high and weighs 311 grams. Please view the pictures, which give a good impression of the fine quality and the outstanding condition of this rare Chinese export product.
This antique ewer was made in China during the 18th century or the 19th century. It is difficult to date this exactly, as Chinese porcelain production shows many similarities over a long production period. Oriental porcelain was imported to The Netherlands by the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC), having special trading privileges to China and Japan. It is known that the Chinese factories reserved their best quality porcelain for export, thus meeting the European taste. The wealthy Dutch upper class adored the subtle oriental porcelain, Large quantities were shipped to Holland in the 17th and 18th centuries. This object originates from an old Dutch private collection. I guarantee age and authenticity of this highly decorative collector's item, as described above.
