Schotel - Porselein

Description
A refined Chinese porcelain saucer from the late Kangxi period (1662–1722), decorated in underglaze cobalt blue. The central scene depicts a solitary monk walking across a bridge within a serene landscape setting — a poetic and contemplative composition typical of early Qing decorative themes.

The reverse is not painted in blue but finished with a warm Batavia glaze (also known as café au lait), creating a beautiful contrast with the crisp blue decoration on the front. This combination is characteristic of export wares from the late Kangxi period.
