Soft, luminous colours, lovely gilt inner borders and densely packed patterns- this is an excellent example of a Cantonese rose medallion plate.
Known in Chinese as 粉彩, these translucent enamels are rendered in pastel shades and were carefully applied by hand. Made in Canton for the export market, they were produced in varying stages of fineness between the 18th and 20th centuries.
This piece is decorated with courtly figures against an intricate background, as well as ruyi-shaped patterns as well as a pattern of floral and fauna. While loosely decorated, the enamels are still applied by hand and have the signature powdery, pastel finish of earlier fencai pieces.
Price marked at AU$125.
Measurements: 15.2cm diameter, 1.5cm height.
Overall fair condition with wear as pictured commensurate with age as well as fade and wear to glaze. Still a beautiful piece with historic value that will only increase with time.
