Comments:Published PDF date : Qing Yongzheng 1723-1735 Room 95 label text:PDF A840 Serving dish with peachesIn the same way as contemporary British artist Sir Howard Hodgkin (born AD 1932) includes the borders of a picture within a work, here porcelain decorators have gone beyond the boundaries of the rim to incorporate the outside of the dish in a continued design. The two flowering and fruiting peach trees, in shades of pink, green and brown spill over the sides of the dish and the design starts only at the foot ring. To complement these enamels, iron-red and black are used to great effect. These colours are not opaque and sit nearer to the surface, creating a contrasting matt result.
