[ translate ]

Pair of Qing dynasty sharpshooters. China, 19th century.
Hand-painted porcelain.
With provenance label on the reverse.
With antique restorations on both pieces.
Measurements: 31 cm (height) x 12 cm (diameter).
Pair of Chinese tibores made in porcelain decorated in the style of the Green Family of Canton, western denomination for a style of the Chinese polychrome porcelain that derives from the wucai (literally, "five colours"). Wucai was created during the Ming dynasty, and has been widely used in China ever since. It is characterised by only some of the motifs being executed in cobalt-blue underglaze, while the rest of the decoration is applied already on the glaze. In addition, black glaze is added for the outlines, in the early days covered with a translucent green glaze to fix it. The Green Family style is a type of wucai called yingcai ("solid colours"), which is characterised by the predominance of copper oxide green. The name yingcai refers to the quality of the glazes, which are crystalline because they are mostly applied to the glaze.
