A FAMILLE ROSE 'PEONY AND PLUM BLOSSOM' DISH18TH CENTURY18世纪 粉彩开光花卉纹盘ESTIMATE: $400 – $800This elegant dish is a fine example of 18th-century famille rose porcelain, showcasing the delicate transition of the palette during the mid-Qing period. The central medallion is expertly painted with a vibrant scene of blossoming peonies and plum branches, symbolic of prosperity and endurance. The composition is airy and balanced, with the use of thick "opaque" enamels particularly evident in the rose-pinks and whites of the floral petals.The cavetto features a sophisticated decorative scheme with a green "honeycomb" diaper ground, interrupted by shaped cartouches enclosing floral sprays. The rim is finished with a classic iron-red and gold foliate band. Notably, the base retains a historical antique dealer’s label from "Eug. Van Herck, Anvers," indicating its past provenance in a prominent Belgian collection. The reverse is further characterized by traditional metal staple repairs, a testament to the high value placed on this piece by earlier generations of collectors.Dimensions Diameter: 23 cm (9 in)CONDITION REPORTThe dish is in stable condition. It features visible hairline cracks that have been historically stabilized with metal staples (锔钉) to the reverse, adding a unique historical character to the piece. There is minor surface wear, localized pitting, and light scratches to the enamels consistent with its age and use. The foot rim shows expected shelf wear and small nicks. No modern professional restoration was detected.Provenance From a Private Canadian Collection Previously with Eug.

BUYING AT LESLIE'S Description of Lot: Our description of any lot in the catalogue, any condition report and any other statement made by us (whether orally or in writing) about any lot, including about its nature or condition, artist, period, materials, approximate dimensions, or provenance are our opinion and not to be relied upon as a statement of fact. We do not carry out in-depth research or scientific testing of the sort carried out by professional historians and scholars. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. Condition of Lot: The condition of lots sold in our auctions can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. The nature of the items means that they are rarely in perfect condition, and a good condition may show minor flaws of the item. Lots are sold as is, in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, without any representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to condition by Leslie's or by the seller. Condition reports are available upon request by phone, fax, email or in person. Condition reports may be available to help you evaluate the condition of a lot. They offer our opinion but they may not refer to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation. A condition report is not an alternative to examining a lot in person. It is your responsibility as a purchaser to ensure that you have requested, received and considered any condition report.
