This porcelain jar was made in kilns near the ancient kilns of Wun Yiu village – once the center of porcelain industry back in the 1600s.  It was then hand-painted and refired in Hong Kong.

 

Maitland-Smith acquired this piece and sold it through their global network . . .  from their base in Hong Kong.  Maitland Smith, founded by a well-known London antique dealer and designer – acquired and reproduced world class quality products.  Their expertise includes metal casting, finely executed porcelains, sophisticated finishing techniques, detailed hand painting, beautiful inlaid marquetry and the finest hand carved woodwork.

This jar has some faint discoloration on the rim of the body – under the lid.  Some crazing along body which is expected at this age and only adds to the character of the porcelain.

 

A gorgeous jar surrounded with fruit, greenery and designs.
