Early Qing Dynasty Blue-and-White Plate | Crane and Eight Treasures Pattern | Traditionally Hand-Painted Blue-and-White Porcelain
[Product Overview]
This is an early Qing Dynasty blue-and-white plate crafted using traditional blue-and-white porcelain techniques. The main decoration on the plate features cranes and the Eight Treasures pattern, with geometric patterns adorning the edge. The overall style is elegant and dignified, embodying the classic aesthetics and cultural connotations of early Qing Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain. The porcelain is fine and delicate, with a gentle and smooth glaze. The blue-and-white pigment has a rich, vivid, and stable color, and the painting is smooth and detailed. It serves as a tangible witness for studying the early Qing Dynasty ceramic art and folk culture, and is also suitable for collection as an Oriental antique or for display in cultural spaces.
[Craft Features]
-
Body and Glaze Texture: High-quality porcelain clay is used, resulting in a solid and fine body. The glaze exhibits the typical characteristics of the “bright blue glaze” of the early Qing Dynasty, with a tinge of blue in the white, being moist, translucent, and enduringly appealing.
-
Blue-and-White Craft: The traditional underglaze color technique is employed, using cobalt oxide to paint the patterns, which are then fired in a kiln at high temperature in one go. The blue-and-white colors have distinct gradations, with strong and well – defined lines and natural smudging, showcasing the mature blue-and-white painting skills of that time.
-
Shape Design: The plate has a regular shape, with a round and smooth rim, a shallow belly, and a flat bottom. The proportions of the body are well – coordinated, combining both practicality and aesthetics, reflecting the steady craftsmanship level of private or local kilns in the early Qing Dynasty.
[Pattern Meanings]
-
Crane Pattern: Multiple cranes are painted in the center of the plate, some spreading their wings in flight and others stretching their necks to sing, with vivid postures. The crane is a traditional auspicious bird in China, symbolizing longevity, good fortune, and elegance. It is commonly seen in court and folk handicrafts throughout the dynasties, implying “longevity as a crane” and “the crane’s cry resounding from the marsh”.
-
Eight Treasures Pattern: The traditional Eight Auspicious Symbols (abbreviated as the “Eight Treasures”) are dotted among the cranes. The patterns are exquisitely designed and complement the cranes. The Eight Treasures pattern originated from Buddhist culture, representing good fortune, wisdom, and perfection, embodying the integration of religious and folk cultures in the early Qing Dynasty.
-
Edge Pattern: The edge of the plate is decorated with regular geometric patterns. The neatly arranged lines contrast with the lively patterns in the center of the plate, adding a sense of hierarchy and stability.
[Historical Background]
The early Qing Dynasty (from the Shunzhi to the Kangxi reigns) was a crucial period in the development of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. During this time, blue-and-white porcelain continued to innovate on the basis of inheriting the Ming Dynasty traditions. Whether it was the quality of the body and glaze, the color of the blue-and-white pigment, or the painting style, it formed a unique and characteristic era – specific charm. The crane and Eight Treasures theme presented on this plate reflects the then – prevailing social admiration for auspicious culture and the combination of folk crafts and religious art, bearing distinct marks of the era.
