Pair Chinese Export Porcelain Chargers, Ca. 1740

China Ca. 1740

A very fine example of Chinese advanced skill in porcelain manufacturing. At that time Europeans were only in the later stages of experimenting in successful porcelain production. The rim of the chargers are superbly decorated in finely engraved “bianco sopra bianco” white enamel.

One charger bears a sticker from Elanor Gordon, the former Grand Dame of Chinese Export Porcelain.

Chinese Export porcelain that I think this is a tea pot stand. I’ve never seen this star shaped form before. It has an enamel scene of a courting couple with a chaperone seated in a landscape. The rim has a line and chevron pattern with a Greek key on the inner sides.
