Here is one very exceptionally rare Chinese export mug. It is in a rather large size ? and it should probably be considered a tankard. It has an applied blue dolphin handle. I highly suspect that it dates form the Qianlong period circa 1775. It has the most unusual large framed pictorial reserve covering nearly half of the mug. The scene is of several Chinese junks in the sea (boat taxi) going to greet and assist the arriving vessel with passengers. The art work is incredibly fine ? the colors typical and perfect consisting of Chinese red and that fabulous flow blue. There are also four other scenes in reserves. It has a hairline crack that goes from the top to bottom and it is visible on both sides (exterior and interior) and it has a little chip on the rim. But considering that this rare export Chinese mug dates form the late 18th century, it isn?t bad in the least. It measures 5 ¼?h with an overall diameter of 4?. What a fabulous find for someone with rare and exceptional taste!
