Recently sourced from a Korean antiques market, this vintage possibly antique Chinese Republic period plate is a special piece.

Hand painted with an iron red glaze with a highly stylised border, its central motif features a dragon amongst clouds, hearkening to their traditional depiction as bringers of rain.

The hand painted glaze is beautifully executed with two separate border patterns featuring a foliate scroll and lingzhi/ruyi details respectively. The dragon’s features, scales and surrounding cloud patterns are also excellently done.

There is an apocryphal Yongzheng reign mark to the base of the plate; judging from the glaze and hand painted details it is from the Republic period (1912-1949).

Plates with similar motifs have become increasingly collectable in recent years, and pieces from the Republic period are now excellent investment pieces of Chinese art.

Price marked at AUD$880.
Dimensions: 21cm diameter, 4cm high.
Condition: very good antique condition overall with some minor wear to glaze and base.
