Miniature Chinese Folding Tabletop Screen A decorative four-panel folding tabletop screen, likely of Chinese origin. Each panel features a hand-painted ceramic or porcelain tile set within a light-toned wooden frame, connected by brass hinges. The frames include pierced fretwork designs at the top and bottom, with darker-toned openwork detailing at the base adding to its craftsmanship. The painted porcelain tiles depict traditional Chinese scenes, carefully rendered with delicate brushstrokes. These include landscapes showcasing mountains, trees, rivers, bridges, and pavilions in soft tones alongside female figures in vibrant traditional attire engaging in cultural activities such as playing a pipa (lute), painting, or holding decorative objects. The paintings use a naturalistic palette with occasional bright accents. Each tile contains vertical Chinese calligraphy inscriptions and red seal stamps, likely artist markings or poetic verses related to the imagery. One panel includes a date, "1988.6.7," suggesting a late 20th-century creation, possibly drawing on traditional artistic styles. Approximate dimensions estimate the height of the panels to be 25–40 cm. This screen served as a decorative display item, highlighting traditional Chinese artistry and cultural themes. It is an intact example of craftsmanship, reflecting both aesthetic and collectible value.
