Pair of Chinese Paintings on Porcelain Plaques, 19th century, each of the two enameled plaques framed and with three inset panels, the top panel with calligraphy, and the middle and bottom depicting an arrangement of flowers and birds, h. 33-1/2", w. 10". Provenance: Succession of Frances Thompson Kreihs, New Orleans, Louisiana.

A small blemish (1/8") to the glaze on the center right plaque. Some very minor rubbing to enamels and porcelain surface. Light soiling to panels. One frame has a crack (1") on its left side. Scattered losses to finish on sides of both frames and some shrinkage to wood. Wear is commensurate with age and display. No breaks or repairs to porcelain panels.
