This vibrant covered jar is a fine example of late Qing Dynasty Famille Rose porcelain, likely dating to the Guangxu period (circa 1875–1908). The estimate is based on several defining characteristics: the palette features the soft yet vivid pinks, greens, and yellows associated with the fencai (Famille Rose) technique, popularized during the 18th century but rendered here in a more saturated, decorative style typical of the late 19th century. The figural panels—with their narrative courtly scenes, elongated proportions, and stylized facial features—reflect the aesthetic trends of the Guangxu era, when porcelain artisans increasingly catered to both domestic elites and export buyers. The finely painted floral motifs, butterfly imagery, and gilt detailing are consistent with porcelain produced in Jingdezhen during this time. Measuring 11“ high by 9“ in diameter, this piece remains in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks and only minor enamel loss from age. An eye-catching decorative object, it adds a layer of old-world artistry and color to both traditional and transitional interiors.
