Antique 19th C Chinese Export Canton Blue & White Porcelain Plate 8.5\" MINT For Sale

Up for sale is a beautiful, authentic 19th-century Chinese Export Canton

blue and white porcelain plate. Measuring approximately 8.5 inches in

diameter, this versatile size perfectly serves as a salad, lunch, or

dessert plate. It features a wonderfully deep, rich cobalt blue hand-painted

river landscape accented by traditional pagodas, a bridge, trees, and the

classic "rain and cloud" lattice border along the scalloped rim.

**Authenticity & Period Characteristics:**

This piece features excellent historical markers showing its early origins:

- **Unglazad Orange-Brown Foot Rim:** Classic indicator of iron oxidation from period kiln firings.

- **Unmarked Bottom:** True to authentic pre-1890 export wares before tariff acts required origin stamps.

- **Glaze & Texture:** Faint celadon/gray-blue tint to the white glaze with minor, period-correct pinholes and pitting under the glaze.

**Condition:**

Excellent antique condition. There are NO chips, NO cracks, and NO hairline fractures. The rim is completely intact, and the cobalt blue hand-painting remains incredibly vibrant. Minor firing imperfections underneath are consistent with 19th-century wood-fired kilns and guarantee its age.

**Measurements:**

- Diameter: Approx. 8.5 inches

Please review the high-resolution photos carefully to confirm the condition

details. The plate will be securely double-boxed and padded to ensure safe
