HTF ANTQ CHINESE EXPORT CANTON WARE BLUE & WHITE PORCELAIN MUG TANKER UNMARKED:
$260.00
Hard to find. This mug cup tanker is believed to date back to the 18th Century, Canton mugs or tankers are highly desirable and a popular Canton form. This mug is straight sided and has a twisted open handle. The bottom of the mug is unglazed thick and rough. There is no decoration inside of the mug but all the painting is hand done. The mug is heavy and sturdy. The hand painted scenes on the mug are classical and well executed. The handle is exceptional mimicking joints and twisted. It has unglazed area but no cracks or chips.Please see photos for measurements. I included the handle details as well.
These mugs are rare and hard to find at this time. All Canton porcelain mugs have some minor imperfections that occur during the shaping process. This mug is in very good good condition for its age. Exceptional piece to add to blue white chinoiserie collection.My hunt is for beautiful, unusual and quality items. I invite you to visit my store for other lovely items and appreciate the consideration and time you gave this item. Thank you.
