Hand Painted Asian Porcelain Fan Plaque

This hand painted Asian porcelain fan plaque is a charming decorative piece inspired by traditional East Asian art. The plaque features a graceful fan shape, a form historically associated with elegance, culture, and refined decoration in Asian interiors. The porcelain surface displays a delicate hand-painted scene of colorful fish swimming in a peaceful water landscape. Soft grey brush strokes create the flowing water effect, while vibrant red, orange, and black fish add life and movement to the composition. Small aquatic plants and lily-pad details further enrich the design, giving the impression of a tranquil pond scene. Additionally, the brushwork reflects the style commonly found in mid-20th-century Chinese decorative porcelain. The fish motif often symbolizes good fortune, harmony, and prosperity in Asian culture. Because of this symbolism, similar decorative plaques were frequently displayed in homes as artistic and meaningful interior pieces. The plaque is presented on a beautifully carved dark wooden display stand. The stand features traditional floral and scroll motifs, which enhance the oriental aesthetic of the piece. Together, the porcelain fan and the carved stand create a balanced decorative object suitable for display on a shelf, console, or cabinet. Furthermore, the porcelain has a smooth matte glaze that highlights the hand painting. The fan shape itself adds visual interest and makes the piece stand out among traditional decorative plates. This combination of shape, artwork, and stand makes the plaque both a collectible and an elegant décor accent. Because of its size and style, the piece works perfectly as a collector’s display item, Asian-inspired interior accent, or vintage decorative artwork.
