Chinese Lotus Platter

A large decorative charger whose floral form is inspired by the lotus blossom. The painting is executed in a loose, expressive brush style — closer to modern Chinese literati or studio pottery than to mass-produced transferware — with confident blue brushwork and well-balanced orange-red accents.

Its generous scale and sculptural form transform a functional object into an ornamental centrepiece. Within the collection, the platter illustrates the broader decorative traditions that extended beyond architectural furnishings into domestic and ceremonial objects.
