Description

Antique Chinese export porcelain creamer or small milk jug, 18th century, of baluster form with applied loop handle and shaped pouring lip. Finely hand-painted in famille rose enamels with figural scenes of robed courtly figures in garden and interior settings, framed by iron-red diaper borders and landscape elements. The palette includes soft greens, rose, aubergine, yellow, and iron-red detailing consistent with Qing dynasty export wares of the Qianlong period.

The glaze displays a soft translucency with characteristic pooling to the interior and natural wear to the footrim. The base is unmarked. Proportions and painted decoration reflect small-scale table wares produced for the European market in the mid-to-late 18th century.
Dimensions: approximately 4 in. high x 4 in. wide (including handle and spout).
Condition: Surface wear consistent with age, including minor glaze wear and footrim discoloration; no visible major restorations observed from provided images.
