The piece
26.6 cm large snow plate, famille-rose snow scene full-work continuous, usable as tea-table display or wall hanging; grand yet finely worked.
Reading the snow
On a 26.6 cm plate, a snow falls full and generous: famille-rose snow scene full-work, no plain ground left, mountains, cottages, trees, paths laid out in turn, like pushing open a window onto a fine snow.
‘Full-work’ is heavy labour: the plate’s centre, largest, most tests compositional density—sparse where a horse may run, dense where not a wind passes, all in the choice of each snow stroke. Famille-rose layered washes, from afar snow, up close brush.
This plate is ⌀26.6 cm; on a stand it becomes a table screen, displayable alone: as screen with a base, as painting on the wall, as plate bearing tea—one place one use. If invited together with P02 and P08’s two vases, it enters ‘Vase-and-Plate Ensemble · No.1’—screen in the centre, two vases flanking, the most correct skeleton of Chinese display. One-of-a-kind, whether displayed alone or as ensemble, sold and stopped.
The extra-large mouth can also be practical: a large tea-table tray for the pot, a festive dried-fruit vessel—both dignified snow scenes. Between use and collection, it occupies both.
From the studio
Full-work continuous scene, one world per plate. On the desk, on the wall, both a scene.
