EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the exquisite beauty of a Ruby-Back Dish with Phoenix, originating from the Qing dynasty in 18th century China. Created by an unknown artist, this antique artifact is a true masterpiece of Asian applied arts. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this dish showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined Chinese ceramics during this period. The vibrant colors, including shades of blue, green, and pink, are achieved through intricate enamel work and overglaze techniques. The central design depicts a majestic phoenix - a mythical creature symbolizing rebirth and immortality in Chinese mythology. Surrounding the phoenix are delicate depictions of other mythical beasts, adding to the enchantment and allure of this piece. The bassetaille technique used on the ruby-red back adds depth and texture to the dish's overall appearance. Its glaze gives it a lustrous finish that further enhances its visual appeal. As we admire this historic crockery item today, we can't help but marvel at how it seamlessly combines artistry with functionality. This Ruby-Back Dish serves as both an artistic treasure and homeware object—a testament to China's rich cultural heritage. Through its presence in exhibitions like this one at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Collection gallery, such artifacts continue to educate us about centuries-old traditions while captivating our imagination with their timeless beauty.
