A Large "blanc De Chine Wine" Cup — China, 17th, Kangxi Period
A large Blanc de Chine porcelain wine cup.
The reverse bears a seal mark. Dehua kilns, Fujian
China, 17th century
Kangxi period (1661–1722)
Height: 7.2 cm
Length: 11.6 cmThe seal mark on the reverse is a “hall mark” and is difficult to decipher. However, by comparing it with the mark on the cup illustrated in Marchant, Blanc de Chine, 2006, p. 146, fig. 109, we believe it corresponds to the inscription translated as: “The Hall of the Flowing Strong Brew.”
The connection between this mark and the function of the object as a wine cup is therefore both apparent and fitting.
