19th Century Chinese Porringer & Cover In Famille Rose Canton Palette. The porringer is a type of bowl with two handles, often used for serving food or beverages, and is adorned with intricate floral patterns, alongside scenes of figures and landscapes painted in the characteristic pastel shades of Famille Rose. The matching cover is typically decorated with similar motifs, and the entire set may be accented with gilded details that enhance its visual appeal. The Canton palette emphasises vibrant colours and fine details, with patterns that often include peonies, birds, and butterflies, which were symbolically significant in Chinese art.
