Summary
One of a pair of blue and white plates, each painted with a figure under a pine tree, a sampan to his right, the border with scroll panels and butterflies, 1770 - 1800. Probably manufactured in China for export to Europe. The border demonstrates inspiration drawn by Chinese artisans from European styles, in this case Rococo, in work they produced for European markets. See also NT 452376.1 / DYR.C.243.a.
