DESCRIPTION
Massive lavish serving piece with finely drafted dark blue decoration including early rain/cloud border. This piece is as early as these go— possibly late 18th century. (Similar examples curated in Mt Vernon; (Washington died late 1799). This is a beautiful heavy platter capable of handling a 25lb+ bird (or whatever).

If you are a Canton collector you might observed that the early serving pieces were usually more precisely decorated than later pieces and also the smaller pieces such as plates. Why? I don’t know.

CONDITION
Excellent; no cracks, chips, or repairs.
