Porcelain Dish, China, 18th Century, Qianlong.

Porcelain dish from the 18th century, originating from China, Qing Dynasty, Qianlong period. A very interesting shaving dish made for the European market and brought back by boat in the 18th century by the East India Company. Made for wealthy Westerners, these pieces costing real fortunes and showing the importance of their owners were pieces of use and prestige. Here we are in the presence of a very rare shaving dish because it is generally made of local earthenware and not very expensive porcelain. In addition, a possible used piece, it has remained intact, which is extraordinary. Note the finesse of the decoration and the depth of the blues and whites. This work surely remained on the wall for many decades, as shown by the attachment on the back. It can be sent to France and worldwide by secure and insured package with order tracking. Careful packaging provided.
