COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Qianlong period blue and white porcelains are admired for their detailed border ornament and balanced compositions. Diaper borders and feather-style bands were popular decorative devices in Qing export porcelain intended for both Asian and European markets. Smaller saucers of this type were often produced as part of tea and dessert services during the 18th century.
