Famille Rose Porcelain Plate XVIIIᵉ - Compagnie Des Indes, Dragon And Pagoda

Porcelain plate Famille Rose XVIIIᵉ - Compagnie des Indes, dragon and pagoda

Chinese porcelain plate from the XVIIIᵉ century, decorated in the so-called "Famille Rose" style, depicting a dragon evolving in a landscape embellished with a pagoda.

The "Famille Rose" designates a type of decoration that appeared under the Qing dynasty around 1720, characterized by the use of enamels in soft, refined tones, dominated by delicate pinks. This palette owes its development in particular to the research of chemist Andreas Cassius, whose work led to the development of pigments based on colloidal gold.

The dragon, imperial symbol par excellence in China, embodies power, prosperity and protection, while the pagoda evokes spiritual elevation and harmony.

This piece testifies to the refinement of Chinese production for both the domestic and export markets in the XVIIIᵉ century, the heyday of Qing porcelain.

A decorative and collectible plate, combining finesse of execution and symbolic richness.
