拍品描述

Dimensions: The porcelain plaque measures 89 cm (35.04 inches) long and 52 cm (20.47 inches) wide. It is a 20th-century modern work. Condition and Provenance: The glaze of this plaque is flawless, transparent, and free of cracks, defects, fading, or signs of repair. The cobalt blue tones are richly layered, and the underglaze red leaf pigment is pure and even. The inscription and seal are clearly legible. The plaque retains its original solid mahogany frame, which is crack-free and comes with hanging accessories. Originally made by the Jingdezhen Ceramic Art Factory, this plaque later circulated overseas and is now in the collection of a private ceramic art collector in Florida. California and New York are major trading centers for antique and modern Chinese porcelain plaques worldwide. Description: This blue-and-white porcelain plaque, titled "Friends Gathering in the Mountains," is an exquisite modern literati landscape painting. The painting uses layers of cobalt blue watercolor to depict mountain scenery, accented with striking underglaze red maple leaves, creating an elegant contrast between warm and cool tones. In the distance, layered mountain peaks are shrouded in mist, and a waterfall cascades down a cliff. In the middle ground, ancient pines and weeping willows surround a stone arch bridge, where a scholar strolls, admiring the scenery. In the foreground, jagged rocks line the lakeshore, where a fisherman floats alone in a small boat on the calm water. Pavilions and towers along the water's edge are nestled among the trees, and the gentle flight of birds adds a subtle sense of depth to the tranquil scene. In the upper left corner, there is a vertical inscription in calligraphy that reads "Gathering of Friends in the Mountains," next to which is the date inscribed by the painter and two neatly and elegantly written red seals. The painter skillfully uses multiple layers of cobalt blue watercolor technique to depict the texture of the rocks and the depth of the misty landscape, while the underglaze red maple leaves become the visual focal point. This work is exquisitely composed, rich in detail, and has ample negative space, cleverly blending the aesthetics of traditional Chinese ink painting with the superb techniques of porcelain painting. With its thick porcelain body and smooth, white glaze, paired with a simple yet substantial mahogany frame, this piece is an ideal choice for interior wall decoration. Well-preserved modern landscape porcelain panels with their original wooden frames are quite rare in the collector's market. This work combines the classic charm of Jingdezhen ceramic craftsmanship with the artistic appeal of traditional Chinese landscape painting, making it a truly outstanding decorative collectible.
