A PAIR OF CHINESE FAMILLE ROSE PORCELAIN DISHES

Yongzheng/Qianlong period
Circa 1740 AD

The matching dishes are painted in the well with ladies on horse back; the figures ride through a flower covered trellis arch - parading before three officials on an open balcony. The border incorporates six symbolic objects between a diaper ground, and the reverse is plain.
