A charming and vibrant antique Chinese Export porcelain saucer dish, hand-painted in the Famille Rose palette, dating to the Qianlong period (circa 1760โ1775) of the Qing dynasty.
The center is beautifully painted with a wicker flower basket overflowing with peonies, roses, and mixed blooms in pink, purple, and green enamels โ a quintessential motif of 18th century Chinese export porcelain produced for the Western market. Scattered floral sprigs fill the surrounding well.
The scalloped lobed rim is bordered with an iron-red and gilt decorative band, with gilt bamboo and star-flower accents at intervals โ a design feature characteristic of Qianlong period export wares. The overall palette combines deep rose pink, soft lavender-purple, iron red, leafy green, and warm gilt โ all hallmarks of the finest Famille Rose export production from the Jingdezhen kilns.
The porcelain body is fine and white, the painting lively and confident โ the work of a skilled Jingdezhen decorator painting for the European and American trade. This flower basket pattern was among the most popular export designs of the mid-18th century, produced at Jingdezhen and shipped through Canton to Western markets hungry for Chinese luxury goods.
