A FAMILLE ROSE ‘PEONY AND PLUM BLOSSOM’ DISH
18TH CENTURY
18世纪 粉彩开光花卉纹盘
ESTIMATE: $400 – $800
Description
This elegant dish is a fine example of 18th-century famille rose porcelain, showcasing the delicate transition of the palette during the mid-Qing period. The central medallion is expertly painted with a vibrant scene of blossoming peonies and plum branches, symbolic of prosperity and endurance. The composition is airy and balanced, with the use of thick “opaque” enamels particularly evident in the rose-pinks and whites of the floral petals.
The cavetto features a sophisticated decorative scheme with a green “honeycomb” diaper ground, interrupted by shaped cartouches enclosing floral sprays. The rim is finished with a classic iron-red and gold foliate band. Notably, the base retains a historical antique dealer’s label from “Eug. Van Herck, Anvers,” indicating its past provenance in a prominent Belgian collection. The reverse is further characterized by traditional metal staple repairs, a testament to the high value placed on this piece by earlier generations of collectors.

No modern professional restoration was detected.

盘内壁装饰绿地几何纹开光，内绘折枝花卉，口沿饰以一周矾红描金纹饰，工艺考究。尤为珍贵的是，盘底保留有比利时安特卫普知名古董商“Eug. Van Herck”的旧藏标签。此外，器身可见早期的锔钉修复痕迹，这种传统的修补方式不仅反映了前人对该器的珍视，也为其增添了浓厚的历史人文色彩。
