A Chinese porcelain circular table screen, with carved mythical lion stand the porcelain panel is painted in the Qianjiang enamel technique inside a dark hardwood frame. The stand is carved hardwood and decorated with pierced upper scrolling work, which supports the circular screen. The centre stand features a carved frog-mouth style mythical lion with head turned sideways looking out, standing among rocky surfaces, flowering leaves and branches on a platform base. Height 57 cm. Diameter 34 cm. Note: Qianjiang means literally 'Light umber' and is a Yuan Dynasty painting literati on paper style, where the landscapes are outlined with ink and complemented by strokes of pale umber to designate the lit areas of the landscape. Qianjiang enamels were applied directly on the surface, giving the decoration the appearance of watercolour painting on silk or paper. The decorations are pale in coloration and delicate in feeling, in sharp contrast to the richly almost 'Gaudily' painted porcelain of the time. Reference: Jan-Erik Nilsson (Gotheborg.com)
