A Large 18th Century Blue & White Qianlong Period Porcelain Charger

A fine Mid-18th century porcelain charger of large scale and decorated with a floral border and central cartouche.

Qianlong Period (1736-1795)

This beautiful charger is of good size with delicate and well balanced decoration. The stylised peony in the centre of the dish is China’s national flower. It signifies richness, opulence, beauty, honour and high social status. The specific shades of blue that offset pleasantly against the milky white ground are typical of Chinese Export porcelain from this period.

Condition: Some light marks to the surface.
