{"product_id":"dehua-hand-modeled-peony-porcelain-display-plate","title":"Dehua Hand-Modeled Peony Porcelain Display Plate","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeonies do not sit flat on this Dehua porcelain plate. The blooms rise in sculptural layers from the glazed surface, their pale blush petals opening around coral-red centers while painted leaves and two butterflies keep the composition light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inscription reads \u003cem\u003eHua Kai Fu Gui\u003c\/em\u003e, or \"Prosperity in Bloom.\" In Chinese decorative culture, the peony is associated with prosperity, honor and a household in full flower. Here the familiar motif is made three-dimensional, allowing light to move across the petals rather than leaving the flower as a painted image alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach peony is modeled by hand from Dehua porcelain clay and set against painted botanical linework. A fine gold-toned rim and black folding stand give the piece a finished presence on a console, cabinet, shelf or reception desk. At 26 cm across, it has enough scale to anchor a small arrangement without overwhelming it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe porcelain plate, folding display stand and presentation box are included, making the piece particularly suited to housewarmings, openings and milestone gifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"border:none;border-top:1px solid #eaeaea;margin:32px 0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Dehua, Fujian, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Dehua porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCraft: Hand-modeled porcelain peonies with painted foliage and butterflies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotif: Peonies and butterflies; \u003cem\u003eHua Kai Fu Gui\u003c\/em\u003e (\"Prosperity in Bloom\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlate diameter: 26 cm \/ 10.24 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall height with stand: 27.5 cm \/ 10.83 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay depth with stand: 8 cm \/ 3.15 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacked shipping weight: approximately 2 kg \/ 4.41 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Porcelain display plate, folding display stand and presentation box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: Decorative display only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Lift by the plate body rather than the raised petals; dust gently with a soft brush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Azure Blanc","offers":[{"title":"26 cm \/ 10.24 in","offer_id":52869449023799,"sku":"AB-DEC-PEONY-PLATE-26","price":398.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/2663\/5063\/files\/dehua-hand-modeled-peony-porcelain-display-plate-front.jpg?v=1787198063","url":"https:\/\/www.azureblanc.com\/products\/dehua-hand-modeled-peony-porcelain-display-plate","provider":"Azure Blanc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
