Overview
A small round dish with a scalloped, pie-crust edge, finished in black with gold chinoiserie decoration. The center shows a garden scene: a seated woman holding a fan, two standing figures, a pagoda-roofed pavilion with lattice panels, low lattice fences, palm trees, flowering shrubs and birds in flight. A gold rope-twist band frames the scene, and the rim is covered in small gold stars. It works as a small display plate, trinket or ring dish, and a wooden plate stand is included.
Background
Chinoiserie, the European fashion for Chinese-inspired scenes, was popular on black-and-gold decorative wares for the home. This dish came from an estate auction in the same lot as a black-and-gold shell-form tray and a pair of wall pockets marked Germany. It has no visible maker's mark. Small chips at the edge show a tan fibrous base consistent with papier-mâché.
Condition
The gold decoration is mostly intact, with light rubbing and some wear to the gold on the figures. There are two small losses on the front near the left edge and a few tiny chips along the scalloped rim, with a larger chip on the underside edge. The back has scattered small chips and a hairline crack near the rim. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
About 6.5 inches across and 0.5 inch deep. The stand is about 7 inches tall. Total weight about 4.8 oz.
