Fine Chinese Porcelain Plate decorated in classic Blue & White underglaze. The central field features beautifully painted Peony Blossoms, symbolizing wealth and honor, accompanied by delicate Butterflies, representing joy and transformation. The cavetto is framed by geometric and scrolling borders, while the octagonal form adds elegance and balance to the composition.

The reverse shows a typical Qianlong period footrim with unglazed ring and a slightly bluish glaze tone, consistent with Qing Dynasty production.

Collector’s Notes: Blue & White Porcelain from the Qianlong Dynasty is highly regarded for its refined painting and balanced compositions. Plates with Peony and Butterfly motifs were popular export wares, admired both in China and Europe. The octagonal shape and decorative borders reflect a blend of Chinese artistry and Western taste during the 18th Century.
