Plate - schotel - Earthenware - large Chinese dish

A large and highly decorative Chinese porcelain Famille Verte plate (service dish), beautifully decorated in underglaze blue with a classical scene on a garden terrace. The central decoration shows an elegant court lady accompanied by playing children (boys at play), including a boy in a playful hanging hoop. This motif traditionally symbolizes prosperity and family happiness in Chinese culture.
The dish is rendered in the recognizable Famille Verte palette with vivid shades of green, iron red, blue and yellow. The back is minimally unglazed on the footring with a characteristic texture. The style is based on the early Kangxi period and presumably dates from the late Qing Dynasty (19th century).
