COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Qianlong period blue and white porcelains remain highly collectible for their refined painting and balanced compositions. Literati landscapes were inspired by scholarly ideals and classical Chinese painting traditions. Small saucers of this type were often produced for both domestic use and export markets during the 18th century.
