Chinese Antiques Appraisal
Antique Chinese Qianlong porcelain teapot?
I have a glass of water that was made in 1700 in China, I am trying to get more information. It seems to me unique, but what do I know. Here is a link to the pictures, tell me about it if possible. http://www.instappraisal.com/antique-appraisal/qianlong-porcelain-chinese-teapot-0 Frenchie: Thank you, somehow supposed to be false. But I'm not an expert and was not sure. Thanks
I would be very concerned that this is not real – Wear on the base of the teapot is completely inconsistent with an article that claims to be 300 years. The color palette is not "right" – the colors are very attractive to Qianlong (yellow is too strong, too lime green and purple Qianlong was a soft mauve, not a purple Pucey). It is crudely painted a design that is traditional in China. The handle of the dragon is a common motif, and although it is very difficult to judge without seeing the actual item, which I find a piece of export 20thC possibly Macao (although the brand says Qianlong). I take it to a reputable auction house or an expert to get it displayed correctly. The following links show the colors that can be expected from this period of Chinese porcelain
