Famille Rose Platter

Famille Rose Platter — a vibrant and export-oriented decorative dish combining traditional Chinese motifs with Western consumer appeal. This piece features vivid koi fish swimming amid florals, bordered by blue-and-white botanical frames. Though modern, it uses techniques from the 18th-century Famille Rose style, with pink enamel tones derived from colloidal gold and carefully layered over a white glaze.

The “Made in Macau” marking indicates late-20th-century export production during Macau’s porcelain boom — when Chinese techniques were revived for global décor markets. The koi symbolize prosperity and perseverance, making this platter as meaningful as it is eye-catching
