ANTIQUE CHINESE FAMILLE VERTE PORCELAIN PLATE, DEER & CRANE, KANGXI PERIOD
Item History & Price
This is a wonderful Chinese famille verte porcelain plate dating to the Kangxi period 1662-1722. Possibly from the Augustus the Strong collection.Decorated in famille verte translucent enamels featuring a central scene of a yellow spotted deer among lingzhi, bamboo shoots and rocks beneath a pine tree, the sun, clouds and a crane flying above. A cavetto border featuring a star diaper pattern with peony branches in reserves below a border of flying red cap cranes and a fish roe pattern... outer rim border.On the reverse are floral sprays in iron red.Greated brown edge to rim.Circa 1700-1720.Diameter 8.5 in (21.5 cm).One tiny rim frit and a star crack to base.NoticeThere is a consistency about the painting of the known examples of this design which suggests that they were painted over a short period. With this depiction of a stag and a pine tree together with rocks, bamboo, cranes, and lingzhi (sacred fungus), this finely painted design incorporates some of the most common chinese emblems for longevity and immortality. It is unlikely that this was specially ordered in Europe, for all elements of the design are Chinese. Althought the symbolism was probably of little interest to the Western traders, the superior workmanship of the chinese enamellers was highly valued. Plates with this design and the Johanneum inventory marks, were in the the « Dresden Collection » of Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland.
