Offered is an excellent example of late 18th Century Neoclassical style Chinese Export Porcelain for the American market, circa 1790-1810. This large and deep saucer measures about 14.5 cm across by 3.3 cm high, and weighs about 141 grams. It features a central scene of a sailing vessel on a river or lake, executed in sepia. The cavetto is decorated with a complex and well-executed gilded motif of grapes and grape leaves with a border. Condition is excellent, with no cracks, lines or repairs, no chips and only a few minor fleabites to the foot rim and small losses here and there to the gilding. Please email me for more pictures. All in all a beautiful example of this form, of sailing interest!
