Teatime Elegance: Chinese Export Famille Rose Teapot Stand
________________________________________
This charming Chinese Export Porcelain Teapot Stand is a delightful vestige of the 18th-century European craze for tea and the exotic wares used to serve it. Dating to the height of the Qianlong period, this stand showcases the fusion of Chinese porcelain mastery with Western decorative taste.
Description and Design
Medium: Porcelain with Overglaze Famille Rose and Puce Enamels.
Origin: Jingdezhen, China (for export to Europe).
Period: Circa 1775, Qianlong Period (1736–1795).
Dimensions: 5 1/4 inches x 4 7/8 inches x 1 inch high (hexagonal/shaped form).
This small, shaped stand was designed specifically to protect fine wooden tabletops from the heat and drips of a teapot, an essential accessory for 18th-century tea service.
The stand is rendered in a scalloped, near-hexagonal outline with a slightly raised rim and a depressed well, perfectly sized for a single small teapot. The well is centered with a beautiful, naturalistic botanical spray executed in the vibrant Famille Rose palette. The bouquet is dominated by rich pink roses, magenta flowers, and green foliage, with smaller flowering stems scattered around the edge. The raised rim features a wide, distinct border of patterned diaper work in puce (a reddish-purple color derived from manganese), framed by fine gilding. This patterned border, combined with the detailed floral reserves, is a characteristic element of high-quality export porcelain from the third quarter of the 18th century.
Historical Context: The Age of Tea
The creation of the teapot stand reflects the profound social and economic impact of the tea ceremony in 18th-century Europe and America.
1. Porcelain Production: The Jingdezhen kilns in China perfected the hard-paste porcelain body, offering superior quality and heat resistance compared to European earthenware. It was the material of choice for tea wares.
2. The Famille Rose Palette: Introduced from Europe in the early 18th century, the Famille Rose palette, based on the pink enamel derived from colloidal gold, quickly became the dominant style for export. Its opaque colors allowed for realistic shading and soft, naturalistic depictions of flowers—a style highly desired by rococo tastes in Europe.
3. Market Demand: While basic tea bowls and cups were always in demand, sophisticated serving accessories like this stand, often ordered as part of a custom tea service, demonstrate the luxury and formality surrounding the act of taking tea in affluent Georgian society. The stand's decoration, though painted in China, was heavily influenced by the patterns and forms of Meissen and English porcelain, illustrating a continuous feedback loop between the exporting artisans and the demanding Western market.
Reference: Jörg, Christiaan J. A. Interaction in Ceramics: Oriental Porcelain and Western Ceramics (2002). Discusses the mutual influence of Chinese and European forms and decoration, which is highly relevant to specialized pieces like a teapot stand.
