Subject:Yongzheng zhi dragon teacup help
Posted By: Helmut Jungert Fri, Feb 20, 2015 IP: 172.242.252.122

I have a square Yongzheng blue Zhi dragon teacup and any info about it would be great, circa 1723-1736.

The cup appears to be a late 20th century or subsequent Chinese decorative product. Its Yongzheng mark lacks the calligraphic and circle-drawing consistency that comes with the use of a brush by a trained hand. Such variances help to identify the piece, with the probable exception of the dragon handle, as being decorated using transfers or rubber stamps to apply the design elements.

Best regards,

Bill H.
