These two Chinese Export porcelain plates were hand-painted in the Famille Rose palette circa 1770. Each plate offers its own exuberant interpretation of floral beauty, capturing the spirit of Qing dynasty porcelain made for the European market. Though they differ in border treatment and detail, they share a similar design, a lively palette, and a masterful balance of color and form. One plate features a radiant central bouquet rising from cobalt blue rocks, surrounded by delicate sprays of pink and red flowers and a garden fence. A ring of finely painted gilt spearheads encircles the scene, adding a sense of refinement and structure to the joyful composition. The second plate presents a looser, more lyrical rendering: blossoms seem to float across the surface, with vivid greens and soft washes of color lending a painterly, spontaneous character. Each plate is a beautiful example of the artistry and charm that made Chinese Export porcelain so prized. Dimensions: One plate measures 9″ diameter x 1″ deep; the other 8.75″ diameter x 1.5″ deep Condition: Excellent Key Features • Two Chinese Export porcelain plates, circa 1770 • Hand-painted in the Famille Rose palette • Vivid floral scenes with cobalt rocks and gilt accents • One plate with spearhead border; the other more freely composed • Each composition is beautifully executed • Excellent condition with no restoration
