AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Two 18th-century Chinese export porcelain plates
Qianlong period (circa 1780–1800)
These fine plates were hand-painted in vibrant Famille Rose enamels.
The centers feature a beautifully executed peony—traditionally revered in Chinese culture as the 'King of Flowers', symbolizing wealth, prosperity, honor, and high social standing. The composition is rendered in rich polychrome enamels including pink, blue, green, and iron red, encircled by characteristic patterned borders with delicate diaper work and stylized cartouches.
In overall very good antique condition. Free of cracks, hairline fractures or restorations. The plate with the simpler decoration has a very tiny, almost invisible fleabite to the rim, which is barely noticeable and mainly felt by touch (noted purely for completeness).
Diameter: 22 cm each (approx. 8.7")
Provenance: acquired from an exclusive private estate in The Hague, The Netherlands.

This high-quality pair of antique plates will be carefully packed and shipped insured.
