Large plate with five dragons, Qing Dynasty Chinese porcelain, 19th century Green-glazed porcelain in polychrome. Measures 37 cm in diameter. A large, circular plate of monumental presence, with an elaborate decorative program that combines rich color and imperial symbolism. The rim features a wide geometric frieze alternating floral cartouches in green and red glazes, enriched with fretwork and festoons, characteristic of late Qing dynasty production. The center displays an intensely yellow background decorated with stylized red flames, upon which five polychrome dragons stand out—three in blue and two in green—depicted with sinuous bodies, open jaws, and sharp claws, enlivening the composition with great dynamism as they converge toward the pearl of eternity. The vigorous graphic style and ornamental density evoke pieces used in ceremonial contexts, linked to the exaltation of power, prosperity, and divine protection. The porcelain is of thick paste, with a slightly crackled, glossy glaze and an unglazed circular heel on the reverse.
