Description
Pair of fine Chinese Republic Period famille rose octagonal eggshell porcelain bowls painted on exterior and interior with intricate mountain landscape scenes. Undersides bear apocryphal Qianlong mark in overglaze blue enamel. Retain original carved wooden stands.
These cups were acquired in Japan by Alroy Piepgras, a Northwest Airlines employee who lived in Japan between 1946 and 1952 as part of a project to set up post-WWII air routes for the US army to locations throughout Southeast Asia. During his six year stay, Piepgras and his family acquired a modest collection of Chinese porcelain and other object. Piepgras passed away in 2002, and his wife Helen in 2014, at which point their children inherited their collection.
Dimensions: Bowls; height: 2 3/4 in x diameter: 4 3/4 in. Stands; height: 2 1/4 in x diameter: 4 in.
