COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Chinese blue and white export porcelain was highly sought after in Europe during the Qianlong period. Tea bowls and saucers with landscape scenes were produced in large quantities for the export market while retaining traditional Chinese decorative themes. Hand-painted examples such as this remain popular with collectors of early porcelain and maritime trade ceramics.
