Subject:Chinese Porcelain Pillow
Posted By: Nat Wed, Oct 24, 2018 IP: 2600:1702:10b1:2170: Any feedback on this purchased mid-1990s in China? Year, origin, value? Thank you ... |

Posted By: Bill H Thu, Oct 25, 2018 In my opinion, the figural painting style, particularly the 'Barbie-doll' faces of the women, is a late Republic to early People's Republic (mid-20th century) trait, which belies the mark in red, stating "Made in the Qianlong Reign of the Great Qing Dynasty". |

Posted By: Bill H Sun, Oct 28, 2018 Thanks. The better views mainly tend to confirm my opinion that your pillow was painted by someone trained at least a generation later than the traditional artists who were producing this kind of porcelain art when the Qing Dynasty ended in 1911. By way of comparison, here's a Republic-era pillow probably made about the 1920's. Really a significant difference in fidelity to the traditional style, I think. |
