Antique Chinese Alter Fruits Pomegranate Pyramid Famille Rose Fencai Late Qing
About the Item
We are pleased to present this extraordinary antique Chinese altar fruit stack, a masterful work of art that epitomizes the zenith of Chinese ceramic craftsmanship. This unique piece, meticulously crafted to form a pyramid of 11 pomegranates, serves as a stunning representation of abundance and prosperity, themes deeply rooted in Chinese culture.
The realism of this piece is truly remarkable, with each pomegranate intricately designed to reveal the fruit inside, capturing the essence of the natural world in a manner that is both artistic and lifelike. This level of detail extends to the two branches adorned with leaves, adding another layer of realism and visual interest to the piece.
What sets this altar fruit stack apart is its exquisite decoration in Famille Rose Fencai, a technique renowned for its ability to produce a wide spectrum of vibrant colors. The use of this technique elevates the piece, bringing each pomegranate to life with a rich palette that captures the eye and captivates the imagination.
Of historical note, one of the fruits on the bottom layer has undergone an old repair, adding a layer of narrative richness and history to the piece. This repair speaks to the item's age and the care taken to preserve its beauty over the years.
Whether displayed on an altar or as a standalone piece, this antique Chinese altar fruit stack promises to be a conversation starter, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural and artistic heritage of Chinese craftsmanship. Its intricate details and vibrant colors make it a cherished piece for any collector or aficionado of fine art, promising to add a touch of elegance and cultural richness to any setting.
