This Chinese Nanking blue and white porcelain serving platter dates from circa 1800 in the Chinese export style. The octagonal piece has canted corners and a blue and white glaze with underglaze cobalt painting depicting a pagoda landscape and a diaper pattern border, alongside minor nicks to the rim and clear hand-painted details. It measures 2.5 cm high, 35.5 cm wide, and 26 cm deep. In a modern interior, this serving platter sits on a sideboard top or dining table for display, or serves dishes during meals in an English Country House setting. It brings traditional blue and white patterns to dining rooms and living spaces.

FAQs

Nanking porcelain refers to Chinese underglaze cobalt blue and white porcelain made in Jingdezhen primarily for export to European and American markets during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The patterns typically depict pavilions, bridges, river scenes, and stylized geometric borders.

These pieces were crafted from high-fired hard-paste porcelain clay containing kaolin and petuntse. Artisans painted detailed landscape compositions by hand using cobalt blue pigment directly onto the unfired porcelain body before applying a clear glaze and firing at high temperatures.

Authentic period export porcelain often exhibits slight irregularities in the potted form, pinhole indentations or subtle orange-peel textures in the glaze, and unglazed foot rims showing smooth white porcelain paste with light iron staining near the glaze edge.

An antique platter can be displayed upright on a wooden plate stand on a sideboard top, placed as a focal point in a dresser display, or wall-mounted alongside complementary blue and white ceramics in a curated gallery wall arrangement.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent applied with a soft non-abrasive cloth. Avoid submerging damaged or repaired areas in water, and never place antique porcelain in automatic dishwashers or use chemical detergents.
