Description
Three ingot-shaped plates decorated with phoenixes and peonies, China, Kangxi period (1662–1722)
Made of glazed porcelain in the ‘green family’ colour scheme, with an elongated shape resembling a ingot, the sides moulded with radiating flutes and the rim slightly scalloped. The body is adorned with two phoenixes, depicted in flight on either side of branches of blooming peonies, accompanied by foliage and flower buds. The rim is punctuated by circular medallions alternating between stylised rosettes on a green ground and coral-red geometric motifs on a gold ground, linked by small flowering branches. The unglazed sections on the sides are adorned with small flowers, pomegranates and finger-shaped lemons. The central design is surrounded by a frieze of stylised lingzhi mushrooms in iron red. The reverse, which is enamelled, is also decorated with flowering branches. Part of the underside of the dishes is unglazed.
18.1 x 27 cm
Chip marks and small chips around the rim, wear and scuffing to the enamels, signs of use and surface soiling; minor firing defects.
