AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of three circular porcelain plates, custom-ordered production from China for the Vietnamese market (Hué Blue), measuring 19.5 cm to 21 cm in diameter.
Top plate: Central underglaze blue decoration depicting a flowered basket with stylized handles, surrounded by a wide powder-blue border or a solid blue background enriched with lobed white reserves adorned with small flowers.
Bottom left plate: Asymmetric decoration of a rich bloom of peony with foliage emerging from an inky rock (calligrapher’s rock), a classic symbol of prosperity, rendered with beautiful shades of blue.
Bottom right plate: Dynamic composition showing two stylized phoenixes in flight, gazing at each other around a radiant central motif, suggesting the sun or a sacred pearl, all drawn with a vivid line.
Condition: The pieces show their age and traditional use, with visible cracks (notably on the phoenix plate and the peony plate) as well as minor chipping and edge wear.
