Description
-
This plate is an excellent example of Bow porcelain produced in the Chinese famille rose style, and it reflects the English factory’s focus on Asian porcelains as a primary source of inspiration (see also 2015.259). This plate, with its skillfully composed chinoiserie decoration, is an ambitious work from the 1750s, the decade during which Bow first achieved commercially viable production.
