About the Item
Bring a touch of timeless elegance and vibrant artistry to your garden or home with this stunning vintage Chinese Famille Rose porcelain garden seat. This meticulously hand-painted piece showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and rich symbolism of the Famille Rose style, making it a true and captivating decorative accent.
This striking garden stool features a classic barrel shape, adorned with intricate and colorful hand-painted designs across its surface. The top of the stool is particularly noteworthy, decorated with two beautifully rendered dragons chasing a flaming pearl amidst swirling clouds. These powerful mythical creatures, symbols of strength, good fortune, and imperial authority in Chinese culture, add a unique and highly desirable element to this piece.
The body of the garden seat is divided into distinct decorative bands. The upper section boasts delicate floral motifs, possibly peonies and chrysanthemums, rendered in the characteristic soft enamel palette of the Famille Rose style, including shades of pink (the "rose" in Famille Rose), yellow, green, and blue. These floral elements are often associated with beauty, prosperity, and longevity.
A central band features a rich, deep blue background contrasting beautifully with an array of auspicious symbols, stylized flowers, butterflies, and possibly depictions of fruits and mythical creatures. Each motif carries its own symbolic meaning, contributing to the overall harmony and positive energy of the piece.
The lower section mirrors the vibrancy of the upper band with further floral designs and decorative borders. Adding to its visual appeal are the strategically placed, raised gilt studs that encircle the top and middle sections, providing a tactile and luxurious accent. The stool also features decorative pierced openings on the sides, a characteristic element of traditional Chinese garden seats, which aid in air circulation and add visual interest.
This garden stool is crafted from high-quality porcelain, meticulously shaped and then expertly hand-painted with enamel glazes in the Famille Rose palette. The firing process vitrifies the clay and glazes, resulting in a durable and lustrous finish. The gilt accents are likely applied by hand after the initial firing.
