| Very attractive Chinese Imari Teapot and Cover. Decorated in typical palette of bright colours with Carnations issueing from rocks. The cover, spout and handle with floral sprays. C.1730 Ht. 5.0" Handle to spout 7.1". Condition is very good, some wear to the gilding, a tiny frit to the tip of the spout and a 0.7" shallow flake to the underside of the lid.See photo. The European taste for Chinese porcelains was interrupted during the struggle leading to the fall of the Ming dynasty and the beginning of the Qing, during which Japanese porcelain manufacture, copying to a degree the designs of Ming polychrome porcelains, gained a strong foothold and developed much of the Imari-style as it is known in the west. Chinese exporters to gain back market share to a degree adopted some of the designs popular with European buyers in the early Qing dynasty. An almost identical teapot can be seen at the Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem, Mass - one of the finest collections of early Chinese porcelain in the US. | |||||||||
