DESCRIPTION

Chinese porcelain saucer dating to the Qing Dynasty and Qianlong period, painted in underglaze cobalt blue. The central scene depicts a horse within a garden landscape accompanied by ornamental rocks, plants and a graceful willow tree. The gently lobed rim is finished with a repeating floral and foliate border in blue. The freely painted composition and soft blue tones give the piece an appealing character typical of 18th-century Chinese blue and white porcelain.

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Horses have a long tradition in Chinese decorative art and were admired as symbols of strength, endurance and status. Garden landscapes combining animals, rocks and vegetation were popular decorative subjects on Qing Dynasty porcelain and provide an attractive glimpse into the visual vocabulary of the period.
