Chinese Porcelain Saucer for Export, Qing Dynasty
About the Item
This saucer belongs to the export porcelain tradition, created to suit Western tastes. The design is characteristic of the famille rose style, a type of polychrome enamel decoration introduced to China during the Qing dynasty, which became widely popular in Europe and international markets.
The saucer's decoration consists of a detailed, asymmetrical floral arrangement, painted in vibrant shades of pink, green, orange and blue on a translucent white background. In the center is a circular medallion with a peach, a symbol of longevity and prosperity in Chinese culture, surrounded by leaves and small flower buds. This central element gives the piece an auspicious meaning, reflecting the strong symbolism present in Chinese porcelain.
The surface decoration includes flowering branches, stylized leaves and lotus flowers, all painted with delicate, flowing brushstrokes. The soft but vivid colors highlight the quality of the enamels used in the production of the piece. The contours are finely drawn, highlighting the influence of hand-painting techniques developed in the workshops of Jingdezhen, China's main porcelain-producing city.
The edge of the saucer is softly decorated with a thin reddish-orange outline, a detail that adds sophistication and frames the composition without overloading the design. The choice of colors and the harmonious distribution of the floral elements demonstrate the artisans' aesthetic concern in balancing the exuberance of the decoration with the lightness of the porcelain.
During the Daoguang period, export porcelain maintained a high level of demand, being widely purchased by European and American merchants. Pieces like this saucer were part of dinner and tea sets, aimed at aristocratic and bourgeois clients who appreciated the delicacy and exclusivity of Chinese porcelain.
This saucer, with its combination of elegance, symbolism and technical refinement, represents a significant example of 19th-century Chinese export porcelain, highlighting the influence of Eastern aesthetics on the global market and the artistic exchange between China and the West.
