Antique Chinese Verte-Imari plate, Kangxi period #1416

The plate is decorated to the centre with a jardineire full of flowers in a fenced garden, surrounded by shaped panels in famille verte enclosing birds and flowers, all reserved on a scrolling chrysanthemum ground in imari colours.

This pattern is known by three names, the 'Stanislaw', 'Warsaw' or 'Belvedere' pattern, all in reference to the 1776 copy of this pattern made in Belvedere faience for both for King Stanislaw II of Poland and for Sultan Abdul Hamid I of Turkey.
