Chinese Export Textile- Embroidered Pot Holders

These two embroidery squares are actually potholders made for the export market. As they were made for tourists, they have no real value. However, people often mistook embroidered suares such as this for court pieces, and it is not uncommon to find items like this framed mistakenly as rank badges of some sort! First half of the twentieth century.

Dimentions: 8.5" x 8.5"

This item is featured in gallery owner Paul Haig’s new book, Threads Of Gold: Chinese Textiles Ming to Ch’ing, available now from Schiffer Books and our website!
