Antique Chinese Canton Porcelain Square Dish, 1930s Hand Painted Famille Rose
 
This impressive antique Chinese Canton porcelain square dish dates from the 1930s and exemplifies the richness of Chinese export porcelain from the late Canton tradition.
Hand-painted in the Famille Rose palette, the dish features finely detailed figural scenes, floral panels with birds, and an ornate gilt-decorated background. The square form, combined with softly rounded corners, makes this piece especially desirable, as square Canton dishes were produced in smaller quantities than round examples.
The vibrant colors, layered decoration, and high level of detail reflect skilled craftsmanship intended for the export market. This dish works beautifully as a decorative display piece, whether placed on a wall, in a cabinet, or as a statement object in an eclectic interior.
