Circa 1770 Chinese Export Mandarin Palette Deep Saucer of Great Quality with no damage or restoration. The best quality. This saucer measures 5 1/2" in diameter and 1 3/8" in height. The central scene of mandarin figures in a outdoor scene with a tree and houses in the background is of very good quality as we have become to expect of the Early to Middle 18th Century hard paste porcelain from China which was made for export to the western world. Very little in the figure scene and the borders within that scene and around the edge of the saucer has no wear that I can find. Also nicely painted flowers separating the scene and the edge of the saucer. Not only Excellent Quality, but no chips, cracks or repairs.
