On offer is a rare and historic Chinese porcelain plate, dating to the Kangxi period, circa 1700, produced during the early Qing dynasty. This example is decorated in traditional blue and white with floral panels radiating around a central blossom motif. Measuring 8.5 inches in diameter, it provides a tactile link to the past and an authentic opportunity to study one of China’s most important ceramic traditions.

This particular plate has served as a research piece for the last fifteen years, used to compare and handle alongside scholarly texts on Chinese export porcelain. It is offered strictly as a research or restoration item: a section of the rim is missing (see photos), but the plate remains an outstanding and rare example of Kangxi-era craftsmanship, suitable for academic study or as the foundation of a skilled restoration.

Crafted over 325 years ago, it carries with it the weight of history — and stands as a meaningful example for collectors, museums, or students of early porcelain.

🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES
This plate was purchased approximately fifteen years ago as a study piece to accompany research into Qing dynasty porcelain. The Kangxi period (1662–1722) is celebrated for its refinement in blue-and-white porcelain, often exported to Europe where it influenced Western ceramics. The underglaze blue mark on the base, within double circles, is consistent with Kangxi-era production.
