Maker / Manufacturer
These plates were made in Jingdezhen, China—the historic center of imperial and export porcelain production during the Qing dynasty. The artisans were highly skilled craftsmen working in kilns that specialized in European export goods. Though not marked with an imperial seal, the decoration and quality reflect the hallmarks of high-end Kangxi porcelain.

Use and Decoration
These plates were created as luxury serving or presentation dishes and formed part of the Chinese export porcelain shipped to Europe via trade routes such as the Dutch East India Company (VOC). They served both functional and decorative purposes and were highly popular among the European upper class. The central floral motif and broad rim with vine and blossom decoration are typical of early 18th-century Chinese blue and white porcelain.
