A Chinese export porcelain waterdropper and stand, moulded as lotus leaves, with appliqué flowers, the spout modelled as a spiny stem, the interior with a small flowerbud concealing the drain hole, all painted in famille rose enamels with a rooster on a rock with tree peonies.

A delightful and delicate example of this rare form, brightly painted and in good condition. Such objects were made for the Chinese domestic market as well as the export market - and hark back to the Chinese tradition of 'scholar's objects', developed during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 CE), combining usefulness and beauty.
