A garden in full bloom, captured in porcelain. This exquisite vintage Chinese platter features a hand-painted butterfly and floral motif set against a dramatic black ground, echoing the elegance of Famille Noire wares. Measuring approximately 18¼ inches in diameter and 2¾ inches tall, it rests gracefully on a dark wooden display stand, bringing the total weight to about 9 pounds.
The design bursts with life: swirling peonies, chrysanthemums, and daisies mingle with lush foliage, while stylized butterflies—rendered in paisley-like detail—flutter across the surface. Their presence evokes joy, transformation, and harmony, traditional symbols in Chinese decorative arts. The Kangxi mark on the reverse nods to the revered Qing dynasty emperor, adding historical resonance to the piece.
A statement piece for collectors, decorators, or anyone drawn to the poetic language of porcelain—where butterflies dance and blossoms never fade.
