Pair of Chinese Export Famille Rose Plates Qianlong Era Circa 1750
$1,200.00
Made circa 1750, this beautiful pair of Chinese export porcelain plates is hand-painted in vibrant famille rose enamels.
The central scene features a rooster standing proudly in a lush garden landscape, surrounded by blooming peonies, rockwork, and delicate foliage.
The rooster, shown in profile, displays richly feathered plumage in tones of yellow, brown, and black, accented by a vivid red comb and elegantly arched tail feathers.
In Chinese art, the rooster symbolizes courage, strength, vigilance, and the power to dispel evil spirits.
The scene is framed by a narrow cell-pattern band, while the wide border is decorated with flowering branches of peonies and chrysanthemums, all painted in bright overglaze enamels of pink, green, blue, yellow, and turquoise.
A fine iron-red line edges the rim.
The vibrant palette and lively brushwork reflect the refined craftsmanship of mid-18th-century Chinese export porcelain.

Background of Chinese Famille Rose Porcelain
Famille Rose refers to a style of Chinese porcelain decoration known in Chinese as fencai, ruancai, yangcai, or falangcai.
This style is characterized by soft, opaque colors, with pink as the dominant tone.
The palette was likely introduced during the Kangxi reign (1661–1722) and perfected during the Yongzheng era (1723–1735).
The delicate gradation of colors was achieved by blending colored enamels with opaque white enamel, allowing artists to create more subtle and varied shades across the decoration.
