Antique 20th c. Canton Famille Rose Hundred Immortals Plate with Gilt 6"
Dimension: Apox 6 inches (15.25cm)
✨ Description
This exquisite hand-painted porcelain plate is a classic example of Canton Famille Rose export ware, crafted exclusively for the Western market in late 19th to early 20th century China. The entire surface is densely decorated with the iconic "Hundred Immortals" (百老图) motif, featuring over 100 elderly figures in vibrant, hand-painted robes, each with distinct expressions and poses. This symbolizes longevity, prosperity, and the reverence for wisdom in Chinese culture—a theme that was highly sought-after by Western collectors.
The plate showcases the signature "织金" (zhī jīn) technique of Canton ware, where thick, lustrous gold gilding is used to outline figures and embellish their robes, creating a rich, opulent contrast against the vivid enamel colors of red, green, and yellow. The gilded rim further enhances its luxurious appearance.
