Part of a beautiful vase collection brought to the US direct from China in 1988 originally meant for antique auctions. Said to be from the Last Ching DynastyThis listing is for a beautiful large plate with unique artwork of leaves and grapes embedded in the porcelain. A jade-like medium green. Measurement: approx. D:18" X H:6"CHING DYNASTY:"The last Chinese dynasty began on a positive note-of energetic collecting, cataloging, and exporting-but ended disastrously. European demand for blue-and-white porcelain, lacquer, and jade, as well as for tea, soared. Vivid colors returned to ceramics, increasing the popularity of so-called pictorial porcelain-oversized platters and vases adorned with meticulously painted scenes. Members of the Eccentric school of painting developed a unique style of expressionism that emphasized spontaneous brushwork and revealed imaginative uses of color. Artisans carved delicate handheld items such as snuff bottles, lacquer boxes, and cricket cages out of jade and exotic hardwoods."REFERENCE:
