Canton Polychrome Porcelain Circular Cup, Period, Mid-19th Century

About the Item

Lovely polychrome porcelain bowl from Canton. We find on this Canton porcelain the characteristic decoration painted on a white background representing large polylobed medallions or cartridges alternating palace scenes and nature decorations with motifs of birds, plants, flowers, and butterflies. Period: Mid-19th Century Dimensions: diameter 20cm Solid and fairly excavated funds use gold. The artist painter uses the circular shape of the object to represent the scenes continuously. Here we find the Chinese characters in a palace, surrounded by friezes of flowers. The colors remain vivid, especially with light greens and pinks. In the second half of the 19th century, when Japan established itself as a source of artistic inspiration, and the image of China and its inhabitants tarnished, several Chinese porcelain collections, private and public, were brought together. in France. Rarely isolated, often associated with other oriental or western objects, these pieces are grouped together in sets that are important by their size and by their number. These collections break with the craze for Chinese productions that France experienced in the 17th and 18th centuries. Dealers and collectors are now turning to new pieces, moving away from mounted porcelain and blue and white. Chinese porcelain continues to haunt the popular imagination and is part of the representation of China at this time.
