Jiangxi Zhen Pin Porcelain ~ Early Chinese - Teapot & Basket - Famille Rose

Please Note: Damaged lid of the teapot; has been broken and glued (see in pics)

Jiangxi Zhen Pin means precious product (prized or treasured) and Jiangxi is the Province in China. The description of Jingdezhen refers to the City where these pieces were made.

When * researching the characters or markings located on the base, it shows information online about these being Jiangxi Zhen Pin marks that matches to other pieces found online coming from a period around late 1930s. Also see the markings in Chinese that surround the top and backside of teapot.

The Wicker Warming Basket was used for portability and of course keeping it warm as the padding looks quite conforming and insulative. There is normal wear throughout the wicker and patina upon the embellishment with loop scene in the center of the top piece.

The AI Overview on this states that these were most likely made between the Chinese Republic Period (1912 – 1949). It also shows it be Famille Rose Porcelain which is a style of craftmanship.

I also found this online regarding the maker Jiangxi:

Another important company was the Jiangxi Porcelain Company which was formed in A.D 1910 with private and government capital. The company also set up a school to carry out research on mechanization of production, quality improvement and firing with coal as fuel.  The products of the company were generally of good quality.  Despite the cessation of government funds after the A.D 1911 revolution which overthrew the Qing Dynasty, it continued operation at least till A.D 1934.
