A Rare Kangxi Porcelain Wine Cup from Fujian
Kangxi 1662 - 1722
A Rare Chinese Porcelain Wine Cup, Kangxi Period 1662-1722, Probably Dehua Kilns, Fujian Province.  This rare cup is very similar to Blanc de Chine porcelain and indeed it was made in the same region of China, Fujian province ,but the decoration was probably done at Zhangzhou, in Fujian. That is why the colours relate to Swatow ware which was made and decorated in Zhangzhou. This cup probably comes from the Blanc de Chine kilns, some pieces are known with Chinese enamel decoration, for example the beaker from the Helen Espir Collection (see below). That beaker has a typical Blanc de Chine look to the body and glaze. This cup is different, clearly from the same region but it is closer to Swatow ware in my opinion. The base is fired red to red orange in places, this is not a typical feature of Blanc de Chine but is common on Swatow wares. The glaze is very much a blue grey. One side is decorated with chrysanthemum, the other with peony.  See below for more photographs and information.
