    I've done a little poking around on this one online - and my best guess would be this is Chinese export porcelain - celadon glaze - famille rose decoration - and I THINK the style of the teacup would indicate it's from around 1810-1820's (looks like English early 19th century tea/coffee cups to me) - but I'm not too sure about that. Perhaps it's reproduction - but it seems legitimately old to me. Thoughts? Opinions? Thanks again!

    I'll try to get better pics tomorrow - thanks!

    Aaron, I don't know anything about the age, but I have to say, that's a lovely looking cup & saucer!

    Chinese. Old. I'd think 19th century.

    Love it!
    It is Macao (Macau) porcelain, I've seen this dated as Tongzhi, 1860s-70s.
    Strictly speaking it is famille verte, Macao 'famille' porcelain is always a bit paler than Canton porcelain, which is why the famille verte ground looks like celadon.
    Note the black, on the butterfly wings for example. That is also very Macao.

    AJ, I would not call this Famille Verte. Chinese usually don't use the "Famille" terms but according to the western definitions the Verte pieces were made with predominant green enamels( other colors as well) and strickly speaking during the Kangxi period. There was no pink and the enamelas were translucent and thin. Pink started to emerge at the end of Kanxgi reign and further developed during Yongzheng but the enamels were more opaque.
    The Jaune and Noire are terms usually used for multi colored enamels on yellow and black ground.
    Here we have a celadonish background glaze so not sure what is the exact term but I see no problem calling it Famille Rose.

    I have a similar dish and believe it is Qing dynasty- mid to late 19th century, the decoration is some times referred to as enameled porcelain on a celadon ground.

    I think mid-19th to later 19th c as stated above, but I be never heard it referred to as coming from Macao. Interesting.
