A Pair of Fine Quality Antique Chinese Porcelain Dragon Plates, Circa 1910
A Pair of Fine Quality Antique Chinese Porcelain Dragon Plates, Circa 1910. This listing is for a matched set of two antique Chinese porcelain plates, which are hand painted in textural polychrome enamel and densely packed with tiny, meticulously detailed geometric patterns of alternating designs encircling the rims of the plates. There is a hidden dimension of opalescent sheen throughout the raised enamel outlines that is captured by the eye only when the plates are viewed at an angled tilt.
Also neatly hidden is gold tracing over the painted background patterning and along the scaled bodies of the dragons; a detail that is invisible when looking straight on, but at an angled view, an entire gold foiled design emerges with striking clarity. The centerpiece design depicting a classic double dragon motif is done in great expressive detail with five claws, which symbolizes imperial power; it is one of the most sought after motifs for todays Chinese collectors. The plates are in very good condition, there are no chips or damages, with only slight wear to the enamel on the lower bodies of the blue dragon on both plates. The underside is encased in a glossy glaze with hand painted markings of made in china.
These are perfectly authentic, but affordable imperial pieces that are a great addition for new and old collectors alike.
