Original Presentation Script
Let’s look at this impressive “Chinese Famille Verte Style Porcelain Charger with Ladies and Boys,” a mouthful of a title for a dish that’s really all about joy. It’s a big, theatrical plate: two elegant court ladies at leisure while a swarm of boys tumble, play, and chase butterflies in a lush garden. This is the classic ‘boys at play’ theme—visual shorthand in Qing China for prosperity, lineage, and lots of descendants.
The cracked‑ice and blossom border and that strong palette of greens, iron‑red, aubergine, and turquoise all point to the celebrated Kangxi famille verte tradition of the late 17th century. Collectors adore this look, which is precisely why it’s been copied for more than a hundred years.
Here the porcelain body is clean and fairly white, the enamels glossy and evenly fired, and the double blue circles on the base are neat and mechanical. The foot shows some kiln grit and age, but not the deep, softened wear you expect from a plate that’s survived three centuries of tables and shelves.
So while the subject and style nod lovingly to imperial Kangxi, the execution says 20th‑century revival workshop—decorative, not dynastic. I’d place authenticity around 25%, with an auction estimate in today’s market of roughly $400 to $800.
In other words: not a museum‑grade Kangxi treasure, but a handsome, display‑worthy homage that delivers the look and the story at a much friendlier price.

Description:
Large porcelain charger decorated in famille verte enamels with a lively scene of two court ladies surrounded by playing boys in a garden landscape, within a border of hexagonal ‘cracked ice’ pattern and flowering sprays. The reverse with three scattered ribboned emblems and an unglazed foot showing kiln grit and firing imperfections; base marked only with double blue circles.

Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
A decorative Chinese porcelain charger executed in the famille verte palette with a popular ‘boys at play’ subject referencing Kangxi-period prototypes. The enamels, drawing style of faces and robes, and the neat double-circle base mark suggest a later reproduction rather than a Kangxi-period original. The foot shows some genuine firing grit and age but lacks the deeper wear and patination expected on a 300‑year‑old piece. Collectible as a 20th‑century homage to Qing imperial wares, with good display presence but modest market value compared with authentic Kangxi famille verte chargers.
此盘为仿清康熙时期五彩风格的大型瓷盘，盘心“婴戏图”题材在康熙官窑中极为流行。本品构图热闹、色彩鲜艳，具装饰性。然而人物面部描绘、衣纹线条以及底部规整的青花双圈均更接近二十世纪仿品特征，而非十七、十八世纪康熙真品所见的老练笔触和胎釉神韵。圈足虽见窑砂与一定旧痕，但整体包浆与磨损不足三百年历史所应有的程度。作为二十世纪向清代官窑致敬的装饰性瓷器，颇具陈设效果，但其市场价值远低于真正的康熙五彩大盘。

Identification Score: 92%
Shape, palette, ‘cracked-ice and prunus’ style border, boys-at-play scene, and double-circle base clearly place this as a Chinese famille verte style charger; details strongly match known Kangxi revival pieces.
依据盘形、五彩配色、“冰裂纹折枝花卉”边饰以及“婴戏图”内容，再加底部青花双圈，可明确判断为中国仿康熙五彩风格大盘，与已知康熙复古风作品高度吻合，因此识别可信度较高。
Authenticity Score: 25%
While the piece convincingly copies Kangxi famille verte chargers, the drawing style, enamel texture and evenness, and relatively fresh footrim suggest a 20th‑century reproduction rather than a period Qing original. A word about fakes.. Kangxi famille verte wares are heavily reproduced, many with artificially aged feet and spurious marks, so caution is essential.
虽然本盘完整模仿了康熙五彩大盘的造型和纹样，但人物描绘略显公式化，釉色光泽偏新，圈足磨损相对较浅，更符合二十世纪仿制器物特征，而非清代原作。因此真品可能性较低，仅给出约25%的真实性评分。A word about fakes.. 康熙五彩器被大量仿造，许多仿品还故意做旧圈足和伪款识，鉴定时必须格外谨慎。
