Schotel - Porselein

Description
A charming Chinese porcelain saucer from the early Kangxi period (late 17th century, before 1700). Decorated in underglaze cobalt blue and lightly molded and contoured, the front displays a refined floral composition accompanied by two small birds in the foreground.

The reverse is also attractively decorated, featuring additional birds and a symbol mark. Such attention to the reverse decoration is characteristic of quality Kangxi porcelain from this early phase. The balanced composition and lively brushwork reflect the elegance and freshness typical of late 17th-century blue and white wares.
