🔍 Provenance / Notes
This tureen is part of the iconic Chinese rice pattern tradition, where tiny grains of rice are embedded in the porcelain body before firing, creating delicate translucent “windows.” Popular in both domestic and export markets from the early 20th century onward, these pieces are valued for their craftsmanship and light-catching charm.
The “Made in China” stamp on the base suggests it was produced mid-20th century during the height of blue and white porcelain’s global popularity.
