Presenting a delicately painted and serene vintage porcelain charger, decorated entirely in vibrant underglaze cobalt blue against a creamy white ground.
The composition features a classic Chinese "Birds and Flowers" motif. A lush cluster of blooming peonies, rendered in varying shades of blue, dominates the lower half. Above, a gnarled branch of a flowering plum tree extends across the top, where a small bird is perched. A second bird is depicted in mid-flight, swooping towards the flowers. In traditional Chinese culture, the peony represents wealth and honor, while the birds symbolize joy.
On the right side, elegant blue calligraphy reads "玉堂富贵" (Yu Tang Fu Gui), which translates to "Wealth and Honor in the Jade Hall," accompanied by an artist's signature and seal. The plate is bordered by a continuous, stylized blue key-fret pattern.
The base is glazed white and features a blue six-character seal mark reading "大清乾隆年製" (Made in the Great Qing Qianlong Period), indicating a later tribute piece. A vintage paper label is also affixed, reading "Robert DUPUY, ANTIQUITÉS - TABLEAUX - OBJETS D'ARTS, 38 rue de Bailleul, Paris", providing excellent provenance that the piece passed through a Parisian antiques dealer.
