🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES:

Likely made in Jingdezhen, China’s premier porcelain center, during the Guangxu reign (1875–1908) of the Qing Dynasty. The base bears a four-character Kangxi reign mark in underglaze blue — a typical hallmark of the Kangxi revival movement popular during the late 19th century. Such pieces sought to emulate the elegance of early Qing blue-and-white wares, which were prized both domestically and internationally.

This example is notable for its classic gu shape (a form originally based on ancient Chinese bronze ritual vessels) and intricate brushwork in cobalt pigment. The decorative program features traditional symbols of longevity, prosperity, and natural beauty.
