Pair of Chinese Export Orange Nanking Plates

Pair of Chinese Export Orange Nanking Plates

$0.00Price

Chinese export plates, c. 1800.

 

Dimensions: Approximately 9¾” diameter.

 

Decoration:  

For each plate, the border is decorated with a shaded trellis diaper band with spearheads and dumbbells.

 

The cavetto is decorated with a shaded trellis diaper band with three cartouches.

 

The center is decorated with a relatively detailed scene including pavilions and other buildings, a lake or river, bridge with a figure, a boat, and trees.

 

The base is unmarked.

 

Orange decoration for a Nanking design is rare. Orange decoration is more often found on Fitzhugh pieces, but even there it is less common than underglaze blue.

 

For a discussion of Nanking scenes and borders, see Madsen & White, “Chinese Export Porcelains”.

 

For a discussion and illustration of scenes, see Forbes, “Hills and Streams: Landscape Decoration on Chinese Export Blue and White Porcelain”.

 

Condition: Each plate has minor enamel wear likely due to stacking; otherwise in excellent condition consistent with age and usage. Please examine the photos; they are part of the description.
