Kangxi Imari Large Porcelain Mug 'tankard', 1700s

This rare and valuable Chinese mug is an exquisite work of art created by master craftsmen during the Kangxi period (1662–1722) of the Qing Dynasty. Made in the "Imari" style, this mug is a striking example of Chinese porcelain specifically produced for the European export market.
The vibrant Imari palette, featuring rich shades of blue, red, and gold, beautifully highlights the uniqueness and artistic value of the piece. The decorative elements include Eastern landscapes with traditional architectural and natural motifs, which were highly sought after by European collectors of the time. The large and convenient form of the mug also aligns with Western preferences and differs from traditional Chinese shapes, emphasizing its orientation towards the export market.
On the bottom of the mug is the inscription "珍雅藏玩," which translates to "Elegant Collection of Treasures" or "Precious Collectible Object." This mark not only signifies quality but also confirms that the mug was intended as a collectible luxury item.
The mug is in excellent antique condition, having retained the brightness of its colors and the integrity of its glaze, making it an even more valuable example of Chinese porcelain from the Kangxi period.
