{"product_id":"blue-white-river-landscape-lobed-platter","title":"Chinese Export Attributed Blue and White Porcelain Platter","description":"\u003cp\u003eA lobed rim encloses a blue river landscape on this porcelain platter attributed to Chinese export production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePavilions, boats and layered mountains form the central composition, with cobalt washes, fine lines and stippled areas supplying different depths of blue. A repeating lattice border follows the shaped edge, including small overlaps where sections meet. The reverse has a broad unglazed surface with a sandy texture and scattered brown specks. These features are relevant to the Chinese export attribution, but the unmarked base does not identify a factory. The decoration, lobed form and textured unglazed base support the proposed Chinese export attribution and estimated circa 1780 to 1830 period. The combination of an expansive river scene, low profile and lobed perimeter defines the piece independently of its proposed origin. It offers a landscape-led contrast to floral blue and white porcelain.
