This is a classic example of the fine art of china painting that so many young girls practiced in the early 1900's. China Painting was considered a vital part of every young girl's education prior to entering society. This piece demonstrates the work of an artist with advanced skills and uses lovely deep richly colored paints to bring the violets to life. It is gorgeous with it's rich deep colors and it's attention to detail. It is the work of a skilled artisan. The Brush strokes and depth of colors are remarkable. Very "quick and precise" strokes. The dish is painted in the elegant "artsy' style of the turn of the century. The violet decoration "dances" across the china. A lovely piece of work by a confident painter.
