Pair Blue and White Chinese Jars Qing Dynasty Circa 1875
About the Item
This beautiful pair of blue and white Chinese porcelain jars was made circa 1875 during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor.
They are hand-painted in exquisite cobalt blue and are magnificent when on display.
Leafy peony scrolls float over the surface of the baluster-shaped jars.
The covers are similarly decorated, have a flared rim, and are surmounted by a rounded finial.
The vivid design continues the ancient Chinese tradition of decorating porcelain with peonies and scrolling leaves.
In Chinese tradition, peonies symbolize female beauty, royalty, and wealth and have long been admired for their bold size and beautiful colors.
Dimensions of the two jars: 8" tall by 5.5" diameter and 8" tall by 5.0" diameter
Condition: The current condition is excellent. One jar has a 2" hairline professionally, invisibly restored, and a small kiln burn spot on one cover (see second-to-last image).
Price: $3,600
Background of Chinese Blue and White Porcelain:
Since its creation in China in the 14th century, Chinese and overseas collectors have admired and appreciated blue and white porcelain. Popularized during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), blue and white porcelain has since become an icon of Chinese culture.
The blue pigment is derived from cobalt, which is painted on a white clay called kaolin; then, the decorated porcelain is fired in a kiln, which transforms the cobalt into a blue pigment and the kaolin to form the body of the porcelain.

Pair Chinese White Glazed Guanyin, Qing Dynasty, 18th Century, China
Located in Austin, TX
A sublime and rare pair of Chinese white glazed porcelain figures of Guanyin, attributed to Tang Ying (1682 - 1756), Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period, China.
This ethereal pair of white glazed porcelain figures depict the revered Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin. Guanyin is portrayed standing, wearing heavy robes that drape beautifully around her figure. Bare feet peek out from under the hem of the robes. Her hair piled in a high chignon and covered by a cowl. The treatment of the hair, finely textured, unglazed, and with remnants of darker pigment, is typical of works by Tang Yin (1682 - 1756), who was the head of the imperial porcelain works at Jingdezhen.
Guanyin's beatific face is set in a serene smile, with a small, flat nose, and downcast, heavily lidded, almond shaped eyes. A simple beaded necklace graces her chest. Her hands held out, and may have once held attributes.
The hands were originally removable, but have since been permanently attached.
The figures crafted of a fine porcelain and glazed all over in a supple white glaze.
One figure bears a label from the Rafi Mottahedeh collection to the back.
