A Pair of Chinese Famille Verte Dishes.
Each lustrously enamelled on the biscuit with, in the center a ferocious looking qilin surrounded by brocaded antiques: chimes, conch shells, an artemisia leaf on a lustrous green ground, the rim with a band of scroll pattern, the backs in an 'egg and spinach' glaze.
Period: Kangxi (1662 – 1722).
Exhibited: Kang-Hsi porcelain: selected objects from Swedish collections, Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, Stockholm, 1973, no. 74 and 75.
Literature Illustrated in The Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, Stockholm Bulletin 46, 1974 pl. 40b.
Footnote: For information on this style of decoration, see: Jörg, Chinese Ceramics in the Collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; The Ming and Qing Dynasties (Philip Wilson, London, 1997), in which the author writes that: ‘Famille verte decorations were usually painted on the glaze […]. However, there is a specific category in which enamels were painted on the surface of an object which had been high-fired without glaze, and these are denoted by the term ‘biscuit’.
