"ca. 1700 \u2013 1720 &lt;br&gt;\r\nKangxi Period, Qing Dynasty&lt;br&gt;\r\nPorcelain with underglaze cobalt blue&lt;br&gt;\r\nd: 15.7 cm&lt;br&gt;\r\nBasically perfect condition, typical Kangxi fritting to rim&lt;br&gt;\r\nFrom a Dutch private collection&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;\r\n\r\nWomen often represent an aesthetic ideal in Chinese art. In particular, early 18th century Chinese portrayals of women feature willowy, svelte beauties\u2013at once wistfully graceful and at once sensuous. These images (such as the central scene painted in this dish) typically en-cloister women in the \u201Cprivate\u201D domestic sphere of gardens and household interiors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;\r\n\r\nPlease note that this particular dish is extremely delicately made with its thin body, white luminous glaze, and molded lobed shape. It features a well-written Chenghua six-character mark.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;\r\n\r\nWe are offering a pair of these Kangxi \"beauty\" dishes, but this listing is for one dish only.
