Stamped on the base with a flying crane logo and "Xuanhua San Ci," this vintage 1980s lidded porcelain tea mug was made in Hebei Province, China. A mountain range, a pagoda, and a column of Chinese characters wrap around an embossed swirl-glazed body — a mug that takes the long view.
Condition: Vintage — used, very good condition. Some wear on the silver rim. No chips, cracks, or scratches. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
The lid is finished with a small platinum star finial and matching platinum border, and the embossed swirl-glazed body gives the pagoda-and-mountain scene a subtle sense of depth.
It's a serene addition to a chinoiserie collection, a gift for a tea lover who appreciates quiet beauty, or a distinctive desk companion for holding pens.
Xuanhua is a historic district of Zhangjiakou in northwestern Hebei Province, long known as the "Gateway to Beijing" and home to generations of pottery makers. The mountain-and-pagoda scene on the body carries a quiet stillness typical of Chinese landscape motifs from this era.
