Description:
Chinese export porcelain round teacup decorated with a Meissen-style harbor scene in the Famille rose palette of blue, iron red, black, green, yellow, rose, and gilding. Hervouet and Bruneau illustrate several variations of these harbor scenes painted in the style of the German Meissen Factory porcelain of the 1730s and 1740s, which probably reached China through the Dutch East India Company and appear to have remained popular into the 1760s. The quality of painting can vary greatly; these are crudely drawn stick figures, birds flying in a V-shape, and poor perspective against a pink mountainous landscape. The rim edge has traces of gilt, and an interior blue band with gilt cross-hatching and Chinese arabesque decoration.
