Rince-pinceau en porcelaine famille rose Chine, Dynastie Qing, marque Kangxi (1662-1722)

à décor finement peint de pécheurs dans un paysage de pins et de montagne, la base et l'intérieur émaillés blanc, la marque en kaishu à six caractères émaillée bleu

The glaze inside fired with surface dirt, resulting in several black pinhole spots. The exterior with further burst air bublbes and small misfired iron spot, but otherwise in good condition overall. The brushwasher bears a Kangxi mark but we do not garantee that the piece is of the period, however the enamels are well fired and the colour of the famille verte enamels consitent with the production of Kangxi (well controlled firing of the red, expected dirty yellow and a good tone of blue).
