About the Item

Brilliantly colored with bold enamels, this porcelain hat stand was once used by a Qing-dynasty gentleman to display his caps while they weren't in use. This stand is decorated in the style of famille rose, a technique that emerged during the 18th century that employs opaque overglaze enamels in pinks, reds, blues, and greens. The cylindrical stand is hand-painted with a scene of courtly women dressed in colorful flowing robes in a garden landscape. Standing underneath a flowering branch, these two serene women demonstrate an idealized peaceful lifestyle. The hat stand is finished with a brushwork of Chinese calligraphy beneath the rising sun.
