🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES
This piece likely originates from Jingdezhen, a renowned porcelain capital of China. The double blue ring mark on the base is a common homage to Kangxi-period imperial porcelain—used in later export and revival wares during the Republic period (1912–1949). The crisp underglaze decoration, featuring birds among peonies and flowering branches, reflects motifs popular throughout Chinese porcelain history, symbolizing prosperity, harmony, and seasonal renewal.

The painting style and form are characteristic of wares made for domestic use and export markets, particularly in the 1920s–30s, when Chinese kilns adapted traditional patterns to modern tastes.
