KANGXI mark, a set of rice-pattern decorated blue&white cup, cover and saucer - Porcelain - China - Early 20th century

This early 20th-century porcelain set features blue and white cups, covers, and saucers decorated with rice pattern motifs, marked with the Kangxi reign mark. The Kangxi mark references the Kangxi Emperor period of the Qing dynasty (1662–1722), known for its high-quality blue-and-white porcelain with intricate designs and refined craftsmanship. Although this set dates later, such marks were often used to honor or emulate the style of that golden porcelain age. The rice pattern is a traditional decorative element symbolizing abundance and nourishment, frequently applied to ceramics. Blue-and-white porcelain is iconic in Chinese ceramics, celebrated for its cobalt blue underglaze artistry, making this set both a functional and collectible example of Chinese porcelain heritage.
