Chinese Famille Rose Large Scalloped-edge Dish, C.1740

18th century
Description

Chinese Famille Rose Large Scalloped-Edge Dish, c.1740

Chinese Qing Dynasty Famille Rose Porcelain | Late Yongzheng / Early Qianlong Period | Circa 1740

A fine and impressive large Chinese Famille Rose porcelain dish dating to the late Yongzheng (Yongcheng) to early Qianlong period, circa 1740. The dish features an attractive scalloped or lobed edge and is richly decorated in the characteristic Famille Rose enamel palette with a charming naturalistic scene of birds, a duck and a stork, surrounded by flowering chrysanthemum, peony and water lily.

The combination of birds and flowers creates a particularly attractive and decorative composition, demonstrating the detailed painting and enamel work associated with 18th-century Chinese export and domestic porcelain.

The large circular dish has a distinctive scalloped rim finished in pale brown, adding definition to the form and complementing the colourful Famille Rose decoration.

Condition

The dish has one professionally sealed hairline, which is visible on inspection. There is no other known damage or restoration. There is also minor loss to the enamel in one or two small areas, consistent with the age and use of an approximately 18th-century porcelain piece.

Please examine the photographs carefully, which form an important part of the description.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Opaque pink and white enamels: palette first used in the early eighteenth century.
Pale brown wash on the lobed rim: distinctive Qing export edging.
Orange-peel glaze surface with scattered pinholes: typical eighteenth-century firing.
Orange halo around the bare foot: oxidised iron in the paste during firing.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This Chinese Famille Rose porcelain dish originates from the 18th century, dating to circa 1740 during the late Yongzheng or early Qianlong period in the Qing Dynasty. The circular Chinese export decorative dish is made from off-white porcelain finished with a glossy glaze and overglaze polychrome enamel decoration. It measures 32 cm in diameter and 4 cm in depth. The piece has a distinct scalloped rim bordered in pale brown, alongside a hand-painted naturalistic scene depicting pink lotus blossoms, green foliage, a crane, and a waterfowl, complemented by professional repair on a hairline and minor enamel loss consistent with age and use. Designed with an English Country House aesthetic, the colourful charger suits placement on a sideboard top to bring historical character to a dining room or living space. The physical object sits against a dark fabric background while displaying hand-painted flora and fauna details in the Famille Rose palette across the central well and the lobed edge. The durable porcelain construction and flat base allow the decorative dish to rest securely on furniture surfaces as a focal point of traditional interior styling.

Famille Rose refers to Chinese export porcelain decorated with overglaze opaque enamels, predominantly featuring a pink or rose colour spectrum introduced to China during the early 18th century Qing Dynasty.

Pieces were crafted from high-fired kaolin clay and feldspar, coated with a transparent glaze, and fired before artisans hand-painted detailed scenes using metallic oxide enamels prior to a second lower-temperature firing.

Authentic 18th-century examples display hand-painted overglaze enamel decoration with slight surface relief, faint glaze pinholes, soft unglazed foot rims, and natural wear patterns consistent with age.

A large decorative ceramic dish can be displayed upright on a wooden sideboard using a plate stand, integrated into a gallery wall collection, or styled within an open bookcase.

Clean delicate enamelled ceramics gently using a dry microfibre cloth or lukewarm water with mild detergent, avoiding harsh abrasive chemicals and full immersion to protect the overglaze enamels.
