Dating to the early to mid 20th century, this decorative, enameled chinoiserie plate captures the enduring western fascination with Asian-inspired design. The motifs and colors offer interesting symbolism — two chasing dragons represent the dynamic flow of energy, while the yellow clouds act as a visual prayer for good luck, peace, and a harmonious life. Red, green and gold signify growth, vitality, joy and celebration, along with wealth and nobility. The back stamp identifies it as having been made in the famous Arita ceramic producing region of Japan. Whether the colors and patterns appeal to you, or the symbolism of the motifs resonate, it is a beautiful combination and a great addition to your plate wall!
