Antique Chinese Export Porcelain Dish Blue and White Hand Painted Kangxi 1700

This beautiful blue and white porcelain dish was made in China during the Kangxi reign (1662–1722). It was created specifically for export to the European market. Measuring 8.25 inches in diameter, it is hand-painted in a clear, slightly bright cobalt blue that remains vivid and fresh. The design features a central floral medallion surrounded by radiating panels filled with flowering plants and scholarly objects. This segmented layout, often associated with the “klapmuts” style, combines delicate brushwork with balanced, and rhythmic composition. The underside of the dish is decorated with precious objects that represent the “Hundred Treasures” motif—symbols of learning, prosperity, and good fortune highly prized in Chinese culture. The dish is in excellent condition, with a bright glaze, crisp painting, and no chips, cracks, or restorations. It exemplifies the refined artistry and lively style that made Kangxi blue and white porcelain so sought after both historically and today.
