AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant pair of octagonal porcelain plates decorated with enamels of the Famille Rose, belonging to Chinese export production (East India Company), presumably from the Qianlong period (18th century) or a later style. As visible in the photos, the two pieces feature distinct yet complementary floral decorations.
The pieces show the natural wear expected for their age, with slight loss of enamels and of the original gilding. The plate decorated with floral garlands displays some specific issues that require detailed mention, as documented in the close-up images:
- Small flaw/chip with loss of glaze and body at the edge of the octagonal rim.
- Presence of a very fine hairline crack running from the rim toward the center of the dish.
- Another small, old glaze flake at the rim, beside a floral sprig.
Both plates bear a circular auction label inscribed "Palácio do Correio Velho 303/2", indicating provenance or prior passage through this prestigious Portuguese auction house.
Diameter: 23 cm
