Set of 2 Chinese Blue & White Porcelain Plates – Qing Dynasty (ca. 1850–1900)

This set of two blue and white porcelain plates is a fine example of Chinese export porcelain from the late Qing dynasty. Hand-painted in cobalt blue under the glaze, the plates feature traditional landscape and floral motifs, characteristic of 19th-century Chinese ceramics made for both domestic use and export.

The decoration includes stylized trees, floral elements, and a classic ornamental border, all executed in a balanced and symmetrical composition. Subtle imperfections such as firing marks and small dots further support their authenticity as handmade pieces.
