A PAIR OF FAMILLE ROSE WARMING DISHES
19TH CENTURY
Each of the heavily potted, hollow dishes is decorated on the rim with scattered flowers and on the exterior with border of orchids, and have a small faceted spout projecting from one side opposite a similarly shaped handle. One is painted in the center with a warrior standing besides a sun-form rising from waves and enclosing a long inscription that identifies the figure as Qian Liu (852-913), the founder and first king of the Kingdom of Wuyue during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (907-968). The other is painted with two figures standing near to a book opened to a long inscription that identifies them as Zhang Liang (? - 189 BC) and the strongman whom he hired to assasinate a leader of the opposing Qin state. Each inscription is followed by two seals, She Tang.
11¼ and 11 1/16 in. (28.6 and 28.1 cm.) diam. (2)
