AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This dish is a fine example of export Chinese porcelain, presenting an aesthetic that blends influences from different periods and styles to appeal to the European market.
Description and Style
Central Decoration: The central motif features an unrolled scroll decorated with a grayscale landscape (grisaille), surrounded by peony flowers in iron tones (orange/red) with touches of gold. This contrast between the precision of the landscape and the liveliness of the flowers is very characteristic.
Edge (Gore): The rim is richly decorated with a cobalt blue underglaze background featuring floral patterns and scrollwork. Interleaved within this blue surround are white medallions containing small landscape scenes and figures, also executed in soft tones.
Chinese Imari Style: The combination of blue, iron-red and gold colors classifies this piece within the Chinese Imari style, an adaptation made by Jingdezhen artisans to compete with Japanese Imari porcelain, which was very popular in Europe at the same time.
Origin and Dating
Origin: China (Jingdezhen), produced specifically for the European export market.
Year/Period: This piece probably dates from the Qianlong period (c. 1736–1795), specifically the mid-18th century. The use of the central scroll and the complexity of the reserves on the rim are elements typical of this era of the Qing Dynasty.
Diameter 22.5 cm
