Tiny Rose Plate, Hand-Painted Porcelain | China, c. Early 20th Century
Delicate. Detailed. Entirely disarming.
This miniature porcelain plate is a bloom frozen in time—a single pink rose at its heart, surrounded by painterly sprays of foliage and buds in soft greens, warm yellows, and coral pinks. Every brushstroke feels spontaneous yet precise, a hallmark of hand-painted export porcelain from China’s decorative arts tradition.
At just a few inches across, it feels like a whisper of history—perfect for holding rings, salt, or simply resting atop a stack of books or linens. It shows age in all the right places: fine crazing, softened edges, a tiny glaze crack here or there—all signs of a piece that has lived a gentle, well-loved life.
