Type: Chinese Famille Verte Fish Bowl or Jardiniere Dimensions: 20 cm height, 26 cm diameter at the top Design Details: This piece is richly decorated with intricate hand-painted patterns in the Famille Verte style, featuring a phoenix in flight surrounded by lush florals and foliage. The colorful palette includes greens, pinks, yellows, and blues, characteristic of the Famille Verte tradition, which emphasizes detailed enamel painting over a white porcelain base. Symbolism: The phoenix is a symbol of grace, virtue, and renewal in Chinese culture, while the floral motifs add to the sense of prosperity and beauty. Style: Famille Verte porcelain originated during the Qing Dynasty, particularly under the Kangxi reign (1661–1722). The style is recognizable for its green-dominant color palette and detailed narrative or naturalistic imagery. This piece is likely a 20th-century interpretation of this iconic design. Markings: The underside bears red Chinese character markings, possibly indicative of a 20th-century workshop or reproduction inspired by earlier Qing-era designs. This elegant fish bowl or jardiniere, with its vivid colors and cultural symbolism, is ideal for collectors of Oriental porcelain or as a decorative statement piece in both modern and traditional interiors.
