A PAIR OF ENAMEL PLATES WITH LOTUS DESIGN Qing Dynasty
Metallic bodies, wide mouths, shallow abdominal arcs, and round feet. A translucent light blue enamel is applied to the center of plates and their outer walls. The light blue foundation of glaze is highlighted with red, blue, green and other colors. Three layers of patterns decorate the center of the plates. From the inside out, these can be categorized as: swirling flowers, interlocking lotuses, and continuous curly grass patterns. Worthy of particular mention are the gold crochets, part of the decorative patterns that provide the artistic and visual effect of a cloisonne. Furthermore, the outer abdominal wall is comprised of three sets of curly grass patterns, a white enamel glaze covering the entire bottom section, and the four characters, Rui Hsin Tang Zhi, written across two lines in the interior of the bottom.
