Chinese Decorative Plate — a vibrant example of framed export porcelain featuring symbolic imagery and handcrafted detail. This round porcelain dish depicts several roosters in a floral landscape, framed with decorative red, blue, and green enamels. The piece is housed in a fitted brass mount with a loop hanger, typical of Chinese export wall décor from the early to mid-20th century.
The combination of brass and porcelain was commonly used in decorative goods made for the tourist market, especially from the 1920s–50s. These framed plates allowed delicate porcelain to be displayed securely, often incorporating motifs of prosperity, seasonal flora, and auspicious animals — such as the rooster, a symbol of fidelity and vigilance.
A dynamic wall accent or cultural collectible, this piece balances utility and storytelling in traditional Chinese craftsmanship
