Chinese Yuan Dynasty Period, blue & white double phoenix plate.

All reserved hand painted ornamentations are rendered in clean white underglaze base color which contrast against the blue fine color. The Interior center medallion decorated with huge flying phoenix among ruyi clouds and vapor. The middle decorated with flowers blooms interspersed with interlocking scrolling foliage. And the outer rim decorated with scrolling interlocking ruyi. Each section banded and enclosed with double fine blue rings.

In China it was a god of the winds. The vermillion red phoenix represents the most important of directions - south In symbolism the dragon and phoenix together represent a married couple. The phoenix alone is a symbol of joy and peace, it heralds the coming of auspicious days just like the qilin. This inadvertently gave texture, energy, and shading to the design.
