Whieldon Creamware Tortoiseshell Plate 18th Century England, Circa 1765
$580.00This is a mid-18th-century creamware dish with exquisite tortoiseshell decoration. Made in England circa 1765, the plate is decorated in brown, green, and gold hues. The tortoiseshell decoration, also known as Whieldon ware, was developed by the English master potter Thomas Whieldon. To create this seemingly contemporary, abstract look, dry powdered metallic oxides were dusted onto the buff or cream-colored plate after its initial firing. The colored oxide stains ran freely when heated in the kiln. As a result, each piece of tortoiseshell creamware is unique. The plate was molded in a press, which created a raised scalloped design on the edge. Saltglaze and creamware plates with this edge were used in Colonial America and were found at Colonial Williamsburg.*
Dimensions: 9.25″ diameter
Condition: Very good with fine light craquelure in the glaze

Two Pairs of Blue and White Chinese Porcelain Dishes 18th Century
$3,100.00Made in the Qianlong Era circa 1770, these remarkable Chinese blue and white porcelain dishes were hand painted in an exquisite combination of soft and deep cobalt blues.
The pure white porcelain base is covered with a glaze of a slightly blueish tint.
Because they are hand-painted, each dish has an individual character through subtle variations in the details.
On the pair of dishes in the center, delicate peonies unfurl near a single chrysanthemum.
The dishes have four panels on the border, each showing elegant branches with beautiful plum blossoms.
The total effect is delightful!
Deeply rooted In Chinese tradition, the beautiful flowers on these dishes have symbolic meanings.
Much loved for their bold size and colors, peonies are known as the flower of “riches and honor (fuguihua),”
The cherished chrysanthemum, cultivated in China for three millennia, symbolizes both longevity and intellectual achievements, its allure transcending time.
While the plum blossoms, with their enduring bloom in the harshness of late winter, embody the virtues of resilience, purity, and optimism.
The undersides of these two dishes are marked in the center with the open lozenge, one of the revered Eight Precious Things*, and a symbol of good fortune and abundance.
Also, painted on the underside along the border, we see a traditional pair of scrolling vines (see image#12).
Taking center stage on the left and right dishes, a traditional garden tableau unfurls.

Large Chinese Porcelain Plate 18th Century Three Symbolic Scenes Qianlong C 1780

Made circa 1780, the plate has six panels, three with a single figure and a symbolic meaning.Dimensions: 10.25″ diameter
Condition: Excellent
In the top panel, we see a young man standing proudly with a rooster.
In Chinese folklore, roosters are associated with the sun, strength, and masculinity.
As a result, they are said to be able to scare away evil spirits.
Furthermore, a red rooster like this was said to protect homes from fire.
The panel on the left shows a delightful scene of a young boy with a cricket and a cricket cage.
The boy’s left hand is closed, presumably around a cricket, while the boy points to the cage with his right hand.
Crickets are associated with spring and summer.
The keeping of crickets was particularly popular in the capital city of Beijing during the last 300 years of the Qing Dynasty.
In the panel to the right, we see a young lady with two fluttering butterflies.
In Chinese tradition, butterflies symbolize the beauty and allure of summer while also embodying romantic notions and dreams.
According to P B Welch* the depiction of two butterflies is especially poignant, signifying a permanent feeling of affinity.
Alternating with the three figural panels are three panels delicately painted with peonies, symbolizing prosperity, abundance, and love. The peonies add a touch of elegance to the overall design.
*See P B Welch “Chinese Art A Guide to Motifs and Visual Imagery” pgs 93-95.
