AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Kangxi Period Chinese Export Porcelain Plate, finely decorated in iron-red and gilt enamels on a white glazed ground. The central medallion depicts two elegant Chinese women seated in a small boat amid stylized lotus blooms and water motifs, surrounded by a richly ornamented border of floral panels with scattered insects.

This distinctive palette of iron-red and gold decoration, traditionally known in the Netherlands as “Milk and Blood” porcelain, was especially favored by the Dutch market during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Examples remain comparatively scarce outside Dutch collections, adding to the appeal of this export ware.

The plate measures approximately 28 cm in diameter. Condition shows age-related wear including rim chips, hairlines, and cracks, with visible restoration or kiln imperfections consistent with early export porcelain. Please examine photographs carefully for full condition details.
