Lovely Antique Chinese BOK CHOY & BUTTERFLY PLATE Hand - Painted Porcelain Dish 8 "
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:16975173 | Modified Item: No |
| Country/Region of Manufacture: China |
Antique Chinese porcelain plate, densely hand-painted in polychrome enamels, the plate is decorated with a traditional design featuring bok choy surrounding a central stylized character for Longevity in gold and red and trimmed with 6 butterflies in blues, browns, yellows and blacks. Nicely made, fine porcelain. I'm unsure of the exact age, an educated guess is 1920-30s. Unmarked, the plate measures 8 3/8" across and stands 1 1/8" tall at the rim. Condition is good, but not mint; beaut...iful coloring, tiny chip or manufacture flaw in foot ring on base, some wear to the gold of the longevity symbol, glaze has some tiny spots on the rim where the green of the bok choy leaves didn't cover (one may be a very tiny chip), and it looks more like a glaze "wash" than the plates with 8 butterflies, butterflies aren't painted as delicately; use or display on arrival.
Modest starting price, please feel free to ask any questions, as all sales are final. Shipping is $10.00 in the US/no international bids please. Payment is expected within 3 days, unless other arrangements are made; I ship within 3 business days of payment. I have four plates and one sauce dish/saucer, all available in separate auctions. Each is slightly different (different colors or numbers of butterflies, this is plate C); I suspect plates C and D were made by a different artist than A and B. I am more than happy to combine shipping costs if something else catches your eye!
