Alexander Chen original oil painting on cancas

Will have to get a picture and submit later. Thanks

This beautifully ornate, lidded teapot is part of a set of three - along with a milk jug and double-handled sugar bowl.

This 120 piece dinner set contains everything from tiny demi-tasse cups and saucers to all plate and bowl sizes, serving sets, gravy boats and more. Old Rose is a truly beautiful example of this type of hand-painting.

A note we received with these stunning vases reads:' "Famille Rose" style of enamels w/rose pink dominant characterized by elegance of shape, softer colouring and feminine refinement. 

Coats of arms were made to order by the Chinese in 'hard paste porcelain before that technique was perfected in england in around 1781 (New Hall was 1st. to discover the formula). '

Lack of a 'reasonable' hall mark is puzzling. Very indistinct mark is impossible to photograph and seems primitive and child-like in execution - but is dentical on both vases. Could be a reporoduction? 

It is a very valuable object which has

been passed on in my family from

one generation to the next.
