About the Item
Used to store loose leaf tea, these small porcelain jars are decorated in a style of overglaze enameling known as "famille rose." Sometimes referred to as "yangcai" or "foreign colors," the famille rose style emerged during the 18th century and employs a pastel palette of opaque enamels that favors roses and pinks.
These cylindrical tea leaf jars from the early 20th century are brushed on all sides with a bountiful harvest of gourds or melons, symbols of abundance, prosperity, and many descendants. Growing off vines dotted with leaves and tendrils, the gourds are surrounded by large butterflies, symbols of joy and happiness. A celebration of autumn, this colorful pair brightens up any surface and is the perfect size for storing odds and ends. Stamped with the reign mark of the Tongzhi Emperor (1862-1874).
