East Asia, China, ca. 19th to 20th century CE. A lovely ensemble of 4 porcelain dishes - 2 pairs of cups and saucers - all enveloped in a lustrous white glaze. Each of the 4 vessels exhibits a ring-shaped foot and impressively thin walls that rise to an annular rim; however, the cups display narrow feet and rims, while the saucers are much broader. Skillfully hand-painted in floral and abstract motifs, the more petite pair boasts hues of crimson, cobalt, and emerald, and the larger pair showcases shades of scarlet, sapphire, bubble gum pink, and green. Size of largest: 5.6" Diameter x 1.1" H (14.2 cm x 2.8 cm)

Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection, acquired before 2010
