A single Qing dynasty porcelain dish in famille verte, 32.5 cm in diameter and 6.7 cm high, with a central domestic scene and eight radiating panels of auspicious motifs, in excellent condition.
Description from the seller
From a private collection, an exceptionally rare and exquisite polychrome dish—a polychrome porcelain Clark-style dish.
The centre depicts a domestic narrative scene: a couple accompanied by attendants in a garden, the husband playing music for his wife—the figures rendered with vivid expression, the scene serene and warm.
Eight radiating panels encircle the central scene, each adorned with distinct auspicious motifs: twin cocks, reclining oxen, crabs, treasures (antique curios), pi xiu, plum blossoms with magpies, koi carp, and conch shells. Each design carries unique propitious symbolism, representing prosperity, longevity, wellbeing, and enduring fortune.
Particularly exquisite is the arrangement of seasonal floral borders between the eight panels—each flower unique, with no repetition—demonstrating the artist's masterful craftsmanship and meticulous design.
The overall composition is rich in detail yet harmoniously unified, with glazes that are both elegant and vivid.
The dish remains in excellent condition. When lightly tapped, it emits a resonant, melodious sound reminiscent of a church bell tower.
We shall package it with meticulous care following professional protocols and ensure secure delivery via reliable courier services.
