AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Bring home a masterpiece of Qing dynasty painting refinement for your collection!
Let yourself be won over by the exotic charm and extraordinary mastery of Chinese export porcelain with this magnificent lobed tray in hand-painted porcelain, in the vivid Famille Rose enamels, dating to the last quarter of the 19th century.
The central composition is enclosed in a shaped frame that reveals a court life scene of great elegance and narrative: nobles finely dressed in traditional attire, surrounded by refined furnishings and ritual vases. The outer rim, lobed with a gilded profile, is enriched by rich natural symbolism: lotus branches, peony flowers, plum blossoms in bud, and magpies in flight, symbols of prosperity, joy and good fortune.
This tray is not a mere decorative element, but a tangible testament to the centuries-long dialogue between Eastern art and Western collecting elites. The brilliance of the Famille Rose enamels, applied with the era's characteristic three-dimensional texture, gives extraordinary luminosity and visual depth. Placed on a vintage display case or on a table stand, it will immediately attract the attention of the most discerning collectors.
The piece arises from a complex, entirely manual workflow. After the first firing of the white porcelain body, master painters applied the colored enamels and the details in genuine gold by hand, then subjected the tray to a second firing at low heat to fix the colors.
Famille Rose porcelain has marked the apex of world ceramics since the 18th century. Late 19th-century Qing pieces with figurative subjects and shaped borders are today in very high demand and appreciation at major international auction houses, and are continually sought after by Asian art collectors.

Seller's Story
Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects.
Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you.
Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep:
• A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco.
We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths.
• Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design.
• We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves.
• Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally.
This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector.
• Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction.
• Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood.
We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust.
Happy bidding!
