Title: Large and Rare Chinese Porcelain Plate, Kangxi period (1662-1722), diameter 42 cm
Description:
We offer an exceptional and rare large Chinese export porcelain plate, dating back to the Kangxi Emperor period of the Qing dynasty. With a remarkable diameter of 42 cm, this piece stands out not only for its size but also for its rich and detailed decoration.
Main features:
Period and provenance: The plate is dated to the Kangxi period, ranging from the late 17th to the early 18th century. This was a period of great flourishing for Chinese porcelain production, especially that intended for export to Europe.
Decorative style: The decoration of the plate features a vibrant and complex style that combines classic cobalt blue with overglaze orange enamels (iron red) and gilding, sometimes described as "Chinese Imari".
Subject: The decorative motif, finely hand-painted, depicts mountain landscape scenes with trees and stylized pavilions or houses. The center of the plate houses a more elaborate landscape, while the edges are decorated with cloud-shaped reserves ("cartouches") that in turn contain floral motifs or smaller landscape scenes, on a cobalt blue background or decorated with foliage.
Dimensions: The large size of 42 cm in diameter makes it a serving dish or a decorative element of great visual impact and high collectible value.
Condition: The overall condition is excellent.
