Blue and white Chinese export plate. This plate features a unique well illustration of Chinese architecture drawn in a European style. This stylization is seen further in the multiple patterns which encircle the well which, while relying on the Chinese method of planing through under glaze, are all distinctly European in taste. There are no decorations on the underside of this plate and its white glaze is uneven and indented. D: 9.2 by 1.7 in (23.37 by 4.3 cm) Condition: in fair condition with repaired chip to the rim
