Chinese Porcelain Saucer, Qing Dynasty

About the Item

Saucer, in Chinese porcelain for export. Qing Dynasty, Daoguang period (1820-1850). Polychrome decoration with floral motifs. This saucer exemplifies the sophistication of export porcelain produced for the European market. Its decoration follows the famille rose style, a technique that uses delicate polychrome enamels, especially shades of pink, green, blue and orange, applied to a translucent white background. The saucer's composition features a central medallion with a small bouquet of roses and leaves in soft tones, surrounded by a thin orange circle that highlights the decoration. All around, an asymmetrical floral pattern spreads across the surface, with intertwined branches, small flowers and buds, creating a dynamic and naturalistic visual effect. The fine, detailed brushstrokes highlight the skill of Chinese artisans in hand painting. The predominant tones include pale pink, orange, green and blue, creating a harmonious contrast with the white porcelain. The floral ornamentation symbolizes prosperity and renewal, a common theme in Chinese porcelain, while the flowing strokes reflect the influence of traditional Chinese painting aesthetics. The edge of the saucer is outlined by orange elements, complementing the composition and providing a refined finish. During the Daoguang period, pieces like this were widely exported to meet the growing demand for fine porcelain in the West, and were used in luxurious tea and dinner sets. This saucer represents an elegant and delicate example of 19th century Chinese porcelain, combining cultural symbolism and craftsmanship, reaffirming the prestige of Qing dynasty export porcelain.
