Out of stock
Condition Report: / / Overall Condition lovely but craquelw. Size 375mm
A high quality polychrome plate. Decorated with flowers. Dayazhai ware, we are not sure about the age, therefore we will mark as date unknown. Most likely end of the 20th century/21st century
the Dayazhai pattern consists of 5 different designs, apparently 2 for Spring and one each for the other seasons of Summer, Autumn and Winter. Each piece has a set of iron red kaishu marks which immediately make it ‘Dayazhai’: Under the rim, Chinese characters ‘Da’ ‘Ya’ ‘Zhai’, meaning ‘Abode of Great Refinement’; adjacent to these characters an oval panel with the characters ‘tian di yi jia chun’, meaning ‘Heaven and earth are united in Spring’ and the panel encircled with two tiny dragons; the base mark ‘yong qing chang chun’, meaning ‘Eternal prosperity and enduring Spring’, this last probably referring to an Imperial Hall of the same name where Cixi resided for a time in the Forbidden City.
Yong Qng Chang Chun’ base mark; Right: ‘Da Ya Zhai’ mark plus the oval panel bearing 2 opposing dragons encircling the characters ‘tian di yi jia chun
