DESCRIPTION
A Chinese export porcelain armorial plate made during the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong period, circa 1795. The center is finely painted with the arms of Samler impaling Shaw beneath a unicorn crest and above the motto Pax et Copia. The armorial is rendered in colored enamels and gilt detail against a white porcelain ground. Cobalt blue borders enriched with delicate gilt leaf ornament encircle the well and outer rim, giving the plate a restrained neoclassical appearance. A documented example of late 18th century Chinese export armorial porcelain made for the British market.
COLLECTOR’S NOTE
The arms are documented as Samler impaling Shaw and are associated with William Samler. Published reference material records this armorial pattern as Qianlong, circa 1795, and notes related dinner and coffee services bearing the same arms. Such privately commissioned armorial porcelain illustrates the important late 18th century trade between China and European patrons.
