Chinese Porcelain Plate with Dragon Decoration "Green Family" 18th Century

Very nice porcelain plate of the green family with dragon decoration in the 18th century. The décor is finely executed by hand, we see a green and gold dragon, with friezes with geometric patterns. Chinese ceramics are known for the porcelain they invent, a tradition rich in many technical and stylistic innovations. The "green family" in chinese "yingcai" means "bright colors". The ming dynasty had already launched the production of porcelain composed of multiple colors. From then on, a new type of polychromy appeared at the beginning of the qing dynasty, during the reign of kangxi. The name "green family" was given by albert jacquemart, writer and historian of ceramic art in the nineteenth century.
