Antique Pair Chinese Export Porcelain Blue & White Dishes, Qianlong C.1790

A fine pair of Chinese export porcelain blue and white dishes dating to the late Qianlong period, circa 1790.

The dishes are decorated in underglaze cobalt blue with elegant floral compositions surrounding a central lotus medallion. The borders are enriched with geometric diaper ornament and stylised floral motifs, while the exterior is decorated with simple brush-painted floral sprays.

Produced at Jingdezhen for export, these dishes are characteristic of the refined tableware made for the European market during the late eighteenth century. The decoration combines chrysanthemums, lotus flowers and scrolling foliage executed in a pleasing and balanced composition.
