Chinese, early 20th centuiry, brightly enameled cups with flowering trees, birds and butterflies, flared rims, round bases, under glaze blue mark of the Jiangxi Ciye Gongsi porcelain company, 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 in.
Note:
"Jiangxi Ciye Gongsi" (Jiangxi Porcelain company) was the largest porcelain factory in Jingdezhen during the first half of the 20th century and in general felt being the organization that replaced and absorbed much of the talent and resources from the Imperial porcelain factory when it fell in abandonment after the fall of the Qing dynasty. It was established in 1910 and eventually nationalized and its name changed to Jianguo Cichang in 1949.
