Description: | none CRE UNKNOWN; ( Early19th century) This is from of a set of four cups and one saucer depicting cranes flying over a building in the clouds. The treatment of the cloud scroll and triple mountan among jets of foam is equivalent to that of the symbolism on court robes of the 18th and 19th centuries. The set is thought to date from the 19th century.
This cup is part of the collection of over 330 pieces of Chinese ceramics and approximately 15 items of Japanese ceramics from the estate of James McNeill Whistler, gifted and bequeathed by the artist's sister-in-law, Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), in 1935 and 1958. (See also GLAHA 54600/54601/54603/54604).
