Chinese Export Porcelain Famille Rose Rococo Coolers, After Marieberg Faience, Circa 1765

Chinese Export Porcelain Famille Rose Rococo Coolers,

After Marieberg Faience,

Circa 1765

The Chinese porcelain wine coolers are of rococo-form modeled after Marieberg faience with molded rocaillerie edged in feathered iron-red continuing to a pair of out scrolled iron-red handles enriched with gilt veining depicting "cracked ice" and flower heads

The wine coolers are painted with clusters of "famille rose" flowers grouping and a few scattered flowers can be found around the outside scalloped rim.  Around the foot is a continuous band of bamboo entwined with flowering plants.  The inner rim is painted in puce and gold with a gold rim and lower gold band and within a band of a scallop-shaped design in puce and white.  Below are a series of puce feathering.

Dimensions: Height: 7 inches x 11 inches wide x 7 1/2 inches deep

Reference: This model is based exactly upon a Marieberg faience original dating from 1760.  John Goldsmith Philips in his book "China Trade Porcelain" illustrates both the Mariaberg form and a Chinese Export example on page 158, fig 51 and page 77, plate 11.  and also see Michel Beurdeley, "Porcelain of the East India Companies," page 174, cat 110 for a Chinese Export example.

A similar pair at Christie's in January 2009, lot 65, made $18,750.00 for a pair.
