AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A fine pair of antique Chinese export porcelain dishes, each with a rich coral/iron-red ground surrounding a lobed, foliate-shaped reserve in white, hand-painted with a naturalistic spray of flowers — one dish decorated with pink chrysanthemum-type blooms, the other with pink prunus (plum) blossom, rendered in soft pink and green enamels with fine black line work.
The coral-red border is further decorated with a scrolling design, now softened to a pale "ghost" tone through age and gentle wear — a charming and authentic indicator of the piece's history rather than a flaw. The reverse of each dish is left in white glaze and decorated with sparse iron-red bamboo sprays, with an underglaze blue seal mark to the base of each.
Attributed to the Qianlong reign 1735-1796 and verbally authenticated by an auction house specialist. A lovely pair for the discerning collector of Chinese export wares, and equally at home as a decorative accent — grouped on a plate stand, hung as a small wall display, or used as trinket/ring dishes on a dressing table.
Dimensions: 19.5cm (7.7") diameter x 3.5cm (1.4") high each
Weight: 301g each
Condition: General age-related wear consistent with the period, including expected softening/rubbing to the scrolled ground decoration. Sold as a genuine antique pair with honest wear.
