A Rare Late Kangxi or Yongzheng Chinese Export Porcelain Spice Box and Cover.
c.1720 - 1735
A Rare Late Kangxi or Yongzheng Chinese Export Porcelain Spice Box and Cover, Jingdezhen c.1720 - 1735. This unusual Chinese export porcelain spice box and cover was based on a French silver shape. It might have been based on St. Cloud blue and white porcelain, alternatively it might have been based on blue and white Dutch Delftware. It is known that Saint Cloud Porcelain was sent to China to be copied in hard-paste porcelain which was exported back to France. This was illustrated to us some years ago when we sold a blue and white soft-paste Saint Cloud porcelain silver shape salt and a late Kangxi or Yongzheng hard-paste copy of it. The Chinese Export Porcelain copy had a 'face in the sun' mark which was directly copied from the French Saint Cloud original. However, this blue and white spice box and cover is of a different style, that often occurs on Dutch Delftware as well as in French pottery and porcelain. Chinese export porcelain in this style is normally dated to the Kangxi period, it could be late Kangxi, but in my opinion, it is more likely to Yongzheng. This type of decoration occurs on Dutch Delftware and St. Cloud well into the 1730s.
