Four Chinese blue and white porcelain wine cups. Each with double ring around the rim, crane motif three times around the circumference, single ring atop raised foot, and mark on the base. Slightly sugary, opaque glaze associated with Kangxi production. Certainly Qing dynasty. Three in good condition. One with crack from rim. Each, diameter about 2 7/8 inches and height about 2 1/8 inches.

A Chinese sancai (three color) decorated biscuit figure of Li Bai - an historical Chinese poet of the Tang dynasty. The colors, on famille verte palette, adorn the figure in repose, leaning on a wine pot. The group functions as a brush washer that would have been used on a scholar’s table (appropriate to the subject). Probably Kangxi period - late 17th century. With later stand. Length, at longest span, about 6 inches. Condition is good for the period and intended use, with only a small chip on the wine pot and on the end of an object (probably a brush case) in his right hand.

A finely decorated Chinese famille verte porcelain plaque. Exuberant and well decorated scene of figures in architectural and garden landscape, surrounded by a band of flower, bird and precious objects adorned reserves. An inscription on the verso. Originally a component in a chair, stool, table or screen, now entirely useful as a trivet or decoration (or perhaps to complete a rare early furniture item in need of an inset). 18th century. Good condition, with some glaze wear or fritting around the rim. 13 3/4 inches diameter.
