Description

A Chinese Soapstone Dish dating to the 1930's of Chinese craftsmanship; made in China (mainland) or Hong Kong. Chinese dishes, such as this with free-flowing edges and lotus like lines were normally used as decorative dishes or Bonbonierre to hold small delicacies or candies for visitors.

This item is part of Museo de La Salle’s Santos Joven Panlilio collection which boasts of antique turn-of the-century furniture and decorative furnishings from the family’s ancestral home in Bacolor, Pampanga. Some pieces were collected through the years by art connoisseur, antique collector and interior designer Jose Ma. Ricardo Panlilio, the museum’s founding director.
