FAQs

Chinese porcelain plaques became prominent during the late Qing Dynasty and Republic Period, evolving as flat ceramic panels painted with overglaze enamels. Artists adapted traditional scroll painting techniques onto durable porcelain tiles intended for display in wooden frames, furniture inserts, or table screens.

These pieces consist of a flat, hard-paste porcelain slab painted with polychrome overglaze enamels, which are fired in a kiln to fix the colours. The tiles are then mounted into carved dense hardwood frames, such as rosewood or Zitan, frequently fitted with cast brass hanging fixtures at the top.

Authentic period plaques show fine brushwork executed in vitreous overglaze enamels that display slight dimensional texture under angled light. Look for red iron-oxide seal marks, fine hair crackle in the glaze appropriate to age, and hand-carved joinery on the surrounding timber frame.

Hang plaques as a balanced symmetrical pair above a console table or sideboard to create a focal point. Their dark wood framing and detailed enamel decoration complement contemporary minimalism, eclectic gallery walls, and traditional formal dining rooms alike.

Dust the porcelain surface and wooden frame gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or horsehair brush. Avoid chemical cleaners, solvents, or excess moisture, as these can damage the finish on the timber frame or loosen the mounting within the surround.
