Blue-and-White Phoenix & Floral Display Plate - Porcelain - China - Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)

## Description

A beautifully shaped scalloped-rim plate, finely painted in rich, luminous underglaze blue with exceptional artistic composition. The central medallion features a magnificent phoenix in full plumage, surrounded by lush peony blooms and curling foliage — an enduring symbol of prosperity, virtue and renewal. The well and rim are divided into flowing panels depicting songbirds perched among blossoming branches, pine trees and rockwork, each scene rendered with fluid, expressive brushwork and masterful control of blue tonalities to create depth and atmosphere. The piece balances symmetry with lively naturalism, making it a striking and decorative example.

**Dimensions:**

- Rim diameter: approx. **21.4 cm**

- No other cracks, hairlines or restoration observed aside from the noted rim damage;
