FAQs

Chinese export porcelain produced for Western markets features traditional Chinese decorative motifs, such as flora and landscapes, executed in enamels like iron-red and cobalt blue to suit international tastes.

They were crafted from refined kaolin clay, fired at high temperatures to achieve a hard-paste porcelain body, and subsequently hand-painted with underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze enamel pigments.

Authentic pieces exhibit slight hand-painted irregularities, subtle firing imperfections, characteristic foot-rim wear, and distinctive colour palettes such as iron-red, gold, and cobalt blue.

These plates can be mounted on a feature wall, placed on clear acrylic stands on a console table, or displayed inside a lit cabinet to add colour and historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and wash occasionally by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh abrasives, dishwashers, or sudden temperature shifts.
