A PAIR OF LARGE GUANGZHOU (CANTON) ENAMEL
‘EUROPEAN-SUBJECT’ CIRCULAR DISHES
Qianlong period, circa 1740-50
One painted to a central roundel and depicting two elegant Western
ladies and a gentleman in seventeenth-century dress standing on a
terrace and being offered flowers and fruit by three small boys with
curly hair in European attire, the other with two western figures, one
standing, one seated, with two younger attendants, one bowing before
them, the first scene set on a fenced terrace in a lake landscape with
Western buildings including a church steeple, the second set in a
mountainous lake landscape with plainly-articulated western buildings
to one side, both central roundels with a dense cell ground at the
cavetto with five equally spaced ogival panels with mythical animals
below a gilt metal rim, both dishes brilliantly painted to the reverse
sides in a Chinese idiom with a group of composite flowers with
butterflies to the base and with a similar dense cell pattern ground with
five equally spaced ogival panels of further well-defined flower groups
to the rounded exterior sides.
13 3/8in (33.8cm) diam (2).
