Description

A large and elegant Chinese famille rose porcelain stacking food container comprising four circular tiers and a domed lid with knob finial. Each section is decorated in brilliant overglaze enamels with floral scrolls, peonies, butterflies, and auspicious treasures, rendered in soft pastel tones typical of Republic-period famille rose work. The interior is finished in pale celadon glaze, and the underside bears a square red seal mark in iron-red enamel—likely an apocryphal studio or honorific mark referencing the Qing imperial tradition.
