Re: Guangxu plate? Close-ups |

Message The closer the view, the more this looks like a period piece. A top quality paint job, the whimsical tiger included. Chinese traditional artists followed a whole different canon for perspective than the one that evolved in the West. Their birds-eye view on your dish is the rule and not the exception. Here's a more down-to-earth view of the Tiger-taming Arhat and charge on a Japanese 'Rakan' (Arhat or Luohan in Japanese) vase. Best regards, Bill H. |
