A set of three 19th century Chinese Canton export porcelain famille verte tea bowls and saucers, circa 1850

19th-century Chinese Canton export porcelain refers to fine ceramic items produced in Guangdong Province, China, primarily for export to Western markets. These pieces were highly sought after for their intricate designs, often featuring vibrant hand-painted scenes, floral patterns, and traditional Chinese motifs like birds, landscapes, and figures.

The porcelain was produced in large quantities to meet European and American demand, especially during the Qing Dynasty. Popular items included tea sets, vases, and dinnerware. Canton porcelain is known for its delicate craftsmanship and distinctive aesthetic, blending Eastern artistic traditions with Western tastes, making it a valuable collectible today.
