Dish (3) - hard-paste porcelain

Excellent set of three antique plates in genuine hard-paste Chinese porcelain, produced in the iconic Jingdezhen region and marketed through the Canton port for the Western export market (porcelain referred to as East India Company ware). The lot comprises a functional-era trio: a soup plate (deep) and two shallow plates.

All pieces are entirely hand-decorated with cobalt pigment under glaze (Qinghua), presenting the classic "Canton/Nanking" pattern. The central scene depicts a detailed and rich traditional river landscape with pavilions and pagodas, stone bridges, local figures, weeping willows and rugged mountains in the background, surrounded by a complex geometric border on the rim.
