Antique Chinese Porcelain Calligraphy Sauce Dish Fir Sale New Year's Special Offer 1 - 30 January. An exceptional quality enamel Chinese porcelain sauce dish delicately painted in fine glazes with the tree branches adorned by rose-white petals of floral blooms stretching across the exterior of the body. The sophisticated floral design features a songbird sitting on a branch of a blossoming tree among the leaves in shades of mint and olive green.
High quality nature painting by original artist with hearty brush work and pastel colours -- no outlines filled with pigment. Fencai enamels painted by hand onto the surface of a high-fired glaze using exquisite strokes. Signed by the porcelain painter in the classic Kangxi black enamel with calligraphy on the right-hand side of the piece.
This attractive vintage Chinese ceramics item is soundly potted with a shallow bowl rising from a short circular foot. Entirely craze free, which makes it a safe food choice, ideal for serving dipping sauce, jam, butter, nuts, as well as holding a sweet delicacy like candied fruit and confectionery also, allowing you to own or gift functional luxury.
A Jingdezhen Zhi seal mark in underglaze iron-red enamel on the base of a dish. 20th century authentic PRoC, dates from the 1950s and later, and is priced accordingly. This rare collectible relic of a bygone era looks infinitely more sensational in real life than in photos, as no doubt you will notice that the camera simply can't pick up all the brushwork, colour tones, and nuances.
Measures: 9.8 cm in diameter across top, 4 cm in diameter across foot, stands 3.3 cm tall.
Condition: Great condition. Age appropriate light patina and minor wear as expected of a vintage piece with a few tiny chip flakes in the surface layer on a rim, and two surface flakes to foot base. Typical slight kiln firing imperfections, such as pin-size bubbles, small spots and two very fine split lines covering the ceramic body, due to the Chinese kiln firing techniques. The two split lines (hairlines) in the glaze surface measuring 1 cm and 2 cm in length.
