AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Attention!
Currently it is not possible to ship packages to the United States.

Very finely painted antique Chinese "scholar soft-paste" porcelain blue and white dish, from the 18th century. Very finely decorated garden landscape and floral painting on white porcelain. Edge decorated with floral ornament, so fine that you can count the petals.

Soft-paste porcelain was made from very rare Huashi (slippery stone); it was mainly used for "scholar table" objects. Dishes, seal ink box and brush wash are often very finely painted. It was produced in a limited edition, specially ordered for the luxury European market. It was many times better than standard blue-and-white porcelain. Soft-paste porcelain is softer, thus also more susceptible to chipping.

Condition: good / fair condition
small glaze flaws, see photos
glaze frits and a chip on the edge, see photos
soft-paste porcelain shows craquelé structure in the glaze, see photos

Dimensions: 23.3 cm diameter

Worldwide shipping 35 euros

Intercontinental shipping takes about 10-15 business days; in special circumstances it may take 20-25 days.
