Trio Chinese Export Porcelain Plates Famille Rose Design Qianlong Dynasty c.1760

About the Item

This trio of beautiful Chinese export dishes is decorated in the Famille Rose style. It features purple peonies, orange lilies, and a variety of other flowers. In Chinese culture, peonies are known as the "king of flowers" and symbolize royalty and wealth. This set of Famille Rose porcelain dishes dates back to the Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty, circa 1760. Chinese potters expertly utilized the rich colors of the Famille Rose palette to highlight the beauty of the flowers on these dishes. A scrolling band of orange decoration encircles the central subject. The rim of each dish features six delicate white and purple flowers separated by a wave pattern washed in green. Our trio of dishes embodies a feeling of simplicity and beauty characteristic of fine Chinese Famille Rose porcelains. Diameter 9" Condition: Excellent Price: $1,130 Background of Famille Rose Porcelains: The color palette is thought to have been introduced in China during the reign of Kangxi (1654–1722). One of the chief glories of the Yongzheng reign (1723-35) was the perfection of famille rose enamels, named for the pink and purple enamels that often predominate these striking compositions. Significant advances in enamel production allowed for the subtle blending of white, pink, purple, and green enamels to produce color gradations. For the first time, enamels could be mixed with opaque white and used in shading, similar to oil painting.
