About the Item

Lovebirds in Blossom: A Famille Rose Porcelain Plaque This beautiful Chinese Porcelain Plaque, dating to the 20th Century, captures a classic and auspicious natural scene in a horizontal format. It features a charming pair of birds perched on a gracefully curving branch of a flowering tree (likely a prunus or cherry). The decoration is executed in the vibrant Famille Rose palette against a clean white ground, emphasizing the rich symbolism of the composition: The Branch: The gnarled branch is laden with delicate pink blossoms and youthful foliage. Red Berries: A separate spray of cascading red berries or miniature cherries adds a striking contrast to the pale flowers. The entire plaque is framed in a period Chinoiserie frame, finished in black lacquer and adorned with an intricate gilt Greek key border, providing an elegant, traditional presentation. Dimensions (Framed): 11 1/2 inches high × 17 inches wide. Historical Context: Auspicious Symbolism in Flower and Bird Art This plaque continues the ancient and revered Chinese artistic genre known as Huaniao (Flower and Bird painting), adapting it for the porcelain medium in the 20th century. Like its companion piece (if applicable), this plaque was produced as fine art for hanging, most likely in the porcelain center of Jingdezhen. Enduring Symbolism The composition is rich with traditional Chinese symbolism, appealing to collectors who appreciate both aesthetics and meaning: Prunus (Plum Blossom): As discussed by Patricia Bjaaland Welch, the Prunus is the first fruit tree to bloom, often while snow is still on the ground. It is therefore a powerful symbol of endurance, hope, and resilience against adversity, and is closely associated with the transition from late winter to early spring. It also symbolizes beauty and purity. Paired Birds: A pair of birds in art is a direct and powerful symbol of conjugal happiness, love, and fidelity. Cherry/Red Berries: The cherry tree itself has become a symbol of beauty in poetry and art. While the berries themselves were used for preserves or medicinal purposes, their ruby color and association with the beautiful, fleeting blossoms contribute to the overall auspicious message of the artwork. The plaque represents a continuity of traditional themes and techniques in Chinese porcelain art, crafted for both domestic enjoyment and the international market. (Ref: NY10463-nruk)
