18th Century Chinese Export Porcelain Dinner Plate – Qianlong Period (c. 1750–1780)

A refined example of 18th-century Chinese export porcelain, this elegant dinner plate dates to the Qianlong period and was produced for the European market. The plate features a delicately hand-painted central floral bouquet rendered in soft famille rose enamels, surrounded by a finely dotted inner border.

The wide rim is richly decorated with alternating panels of cobalt-blue diaper pattern and floral reserves, accented with iron red and subtle gilt highlights. A warm café-au-lait brown rim frames the composition, a hallmark of high-quality mid-18th-century export wares.

Both decorative and historically significant, this plate exemplifies the sophistication and craftsmanship of Chinese porcelain made for Western taste during the height of the China trade.
