Foo Lion Yongzheng Bord - Plate - Porcelain - GAAF

This is a hand-painted Chinese porcelain plate with a decoration clearly influenced by the Yongzheng period (1723–1735) of the Qing dynasty. The plate appears to be stylistically, color-wise, and compositionally similar to so-called Famille Rose (Fencai) decorations, a refined painting technique that developed strongly during the Yongzheng era.

Front
Central decoration
In the middle stands a classical representation.
Large blooming peonies in pink shades, symbolizing wealth and prosperity.
A mythological creature resembling a stylized lion or fo-hound, painted in a warm gold-yellow color, resting on a blue rock formation. Such figures are often found in 18th-century porcelain as protective, auspicious symbols.
Colors:
The typical soft shades of pink, green, and blue are characteristic of Famille Rose, a palette that gained its refined character during the Yongzheng period.
Border decoration
The border is richly decorated with:
Flowers and flower garlands
Geometric patterns
Cartouches with flower motifs.
This combination of floral and geometric elements closely aligns with the Qing decoration idiom.

Back
The back is mostly unglazed white porcelain with some red-brown floral motifs, painted with a brush.
The foot ring shows natural wear, but there is no clearly visible factory or imperial mark, which is common in many export porcelains.

Stylistic features indicating Yongzheng influence
refined brushwork
pastel-colored enamel (Famille Rose)
floral motifs and mythological creatures
Elegant, symmetrical border decoration
