AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Blue and White Chinese Porcelain Plate – 20 cm diameter
Blue cobalt-decorated Chinese porcelain plate on a white background, characterized by a rich floral and ornamental decoration.
The central decoration consists of floral and botanical motifs, while the rim features an intricate composition of flowers, leaves, and ornamental motifs in various shades of blue. The painting shows variations in cobalt intensity typical of underglaze decoration.
On the back there is a cobalt blue painted mark inside two concentric circles. The mark is stylized/apocryphal and fits into the tradition of marks found on Chinese porcelain. It is not assigned to a specific dynasty period with certainty based solely on the mark.
The surface shows some small irregularities and signs compatible with the making and use of the object.
