Over several hundred years, Chinese potters at the Jingdezhen kilns produced untold thousands of tea bowls for European and American customers. Small in scale but beautiful in proportion, tea bowls remain among the most inviting of all forms in Chinese export porcelain. As is evident here, the form lends itself to all manner of decoration, from an original owner’s initials to elegant flora and fauna, to even a whimsical man and his dog.
