Set of 2 Antique Chinese Famille Rose Footed Plates 3 Abundances

I am selling a Set of 2 Antique Chinese Famille Rose Footed Plates – Three Abundances Motif in excellent, antique condition. We are pleased to offer this exquisite pair of antique Chinese porcelain footed plates, hand-crafted in the celebrated Famille Rose enamel style. These pieces represent the vibrant artistic traditions of the late Qing Dynasty (late 19th to early 20th century). Authenticity & Design: These plates feature the classic "San Duo" (The Three Abundances) motif. Each plate is a masterpiece of hand-painted symbolism: * The Peach: Symbolizing Longevity. * The Pomegranate: Symbolizing Progeny and many descendants. * The Buddha’s Hand Citron: A yellow, finger-like fruit symbolizing Happiness and good fortune. * Floral Array: Adorned with resilient Cherry and Plum blossoms, representing purity and renewal. The elegant, scalloped edges and delicate footed bases are hallmarks of high-quality export porcelain. These are not modern printed transfers; the overglaze enamels have a perceptible texture that can be felt by hand. Condition: * Condition: Excellent antique condition. No chips or cracks. * Glaze: Includes charming, authentic "beauty marks" such as tiny iron spots and kiln pits. These irregularities are a testament to their traditional handmade origin and are highly valued by collectors. * The Base: As is characteristic of many genuine late 19th-century export pieces, these plates have unmarked bases. The unglazed "biscuit" foot rim shows the high quality of the white porcelain body and provides a window into the traditional firing process. Dimensions * Width: 6-7/8" * Length: 4-3/4" * Height: 1-1/4" Perfect for a sophisticated addition to any Chinoiserie, Grandmillennial, or traditional collection. These plates offer a touch of timeless elegance and deep cultural history for your home. Comes from a pet and smoke-free environment. Pickup in Mount Pleasant (NW Calgary)
