Description
D:21.7cm
The main scene features red lotus flowers and emerald green lotus leaves, with two kingfishers perched on reed stalks, complemented by locusts and other insects, forming a complete ecological scene of a lotus pond.From the 18th century onward, European nobility were obsessed with Chinese floral-and-bird porcelain. Meissen drew compositional inspiration from Guangcai and Qing Wucai porcelain, while localizing and refining its color palette. Kingfishers symbolize peace and prosperity, and aquatic plants stand for perpetual vitality.
