Tournai - Plate - Softpaste porcelain - 2 Plates 18th Century

Set of two authentic 18th-century Tournai soft-paste porcelain plates, decorated in underglaze cobalt blue with elegant floral compositions inspired by Chinese export porcelain. The refined painting, balanced use of white space, and softly scalloped rims are characteristic of high-quality Tournai production from the second half of the 18th century. Dimensions: Large plate: approx. 31 cm diameter Smaller plate: approx. 24 cm diameter The plates are made of soft-paste porcelain, with a creamy glaze and fine translucency typical of Tournai. Both pieces display well-preserved decoration with strong, vibrant cobalt tones. Condition: The smaller plate is in very good condition for its age. The larger plate has two small chips on the reverse rim only. These chips are not visible from the front and do not affect the decoration or display quality. No cracks, no hairlines, and no restorations on either plate. Such minor reverse rim chips are acceptable and common for large-format 18th-century soft-paste porcelain, especially for Tournai plates of this size, which are known for their thin and delicate structure. A highly decorative and collectible pair, suitable for both serious collectors and refined interior display.
