Antique Blue and White Chinese Export Porcelain Dish Hand Painted Circa 1760

This Chinese Export porcelain dish was hand-painted in deep cobalt blue with beautiful floral decoration featuring peonies, a traditional symbol of prosperity and beauty. Made circa 1760, the porcelain body is a pale, almost translucent light blue that sets off the rich underglaze decoration. Much of the design—particularly the peony blooms—is defined by finely painted outlines filled with delicate cross-hatching, adding texture and visual depth to the surface. The central medallion and surrounding sprays show excellent brushwork and balance, characteristic of mid-18th-century Chinese porcelain made for export to Europe. The dish has a softly lobed edge and is bordered with a geometric fret pattern. Dimensions: 9″ diameter x 1.5″ deep Condition: Excellent
