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.
Early pieces such as this one show a remarkable delicacy; this one is lavishly decorated with courtly figures against intricate backgrounds, as well as ruyi-shaped patterns as well as birds, peonies and a pattern of floral and fauna. This has a thinly potted handfeel. The scalloped edges and exquisite decoration make this even more remarkable in person.
Price marked at AU$220. We have 3 of these lovely plates; while they are the same pattern the hand-painted nature of these make each unique. Please contact us directly if interested in purchasing as a set.
Measurements: 18.5cm diameter, 2cm height.
Overall good condition with some wear as pictured commensurate with age as well as slight fade to glaze. One small fleabite chip to front that is easily hidden with a plate stand. Still a beautiful piece with historic value that will only increase with time.
