DESCRIPTION

A Chinese Qing dynasty porcelain plate decorated in famille rose enamels with a detailed garden scene. The central composition features a crane beside a terrace, flowering plants, a potted floral arrangement, and a qin zither, surrounded by colorful floral sprays and patterned borders. The reverse is decorated with small iron-red floral sprigs. The lively palette and finely arranged garden imagery are characteristic of decorative porcelain associated with the Yongzheng period.

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

The combination of a qin zither and crane can reference the traditional Chinese expression “one qin and one crane,” associated with Zhao Bian, a Song dynasty official celebrated for integrity and modest living. The motif became an emblem of the virtuous and incorruptible scholar-official, adding literary significance to the decorative garden scene.
