A FINE FAMILLE VERTE SAUCER DISH WITH A COURTING
COUPLE
Kangxi period, circa 1700
The saucer dish rim gently rounded, and the entire center delicately
painted in transparent ‘verte’ enamels with a scene of a gentleman
in conversation with an elegant lady who walks unhurriedly toward a
building set under a towering cliff, with a moon window through which
can be glimpsed a pulled curtain, perhaps that of a bed, within, the
scene set in a fenced garden with rocky outcrops and trees below a
full moon, or possibly a waning sun, the reverse plain.

The minimalist approach to this decoration is both unusual and a
relief to the usual overly decorated approach, so often taken by the
Jingdezhen potters. The scene is bordered by a green cliff that forms
an embracing motif bending with the shape of the plate, while behind
them are a few simple trees, a scholar’s rock, and an indication of
fencing.
