This charming faceted porcelain teacup with matching octagonal saucer is hand-painted in underglaze blue with the beloved “boys at play” (tongzi tu) motif. Each panel features children frolicking in a garden, symbolizing joy, abundance, and good fortune. The faceted design and whimsical brushwork reflect late Qing to Republic period export porcelain, c. 1900. A delightful accent for a collector of Chinese blue-and-white or a meaningful addition to your decor. Ready for your home.
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: The “boys at play” theme was a favorite on Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, carrying auspicious wishes for family prosperity. Sets like this were made in Jingdezhen for both domestic and export markets.
