Chinese export platter, blue and white, said to be 19th century

I did a lot of looking for this particular pattern but could not find it, can anyone give a better ID?

 

Are there no marks?

 

Did you try looking through this site? https://www.blueandwhite.com/Default.asp

 

With that yellowish white, the uneven glaze, and the design I would say Chinese inspired European, rather than Chinese Export. Very nice though.

 

Not one picture of the whole thing?

 

And the back please.

 

I have a picture of the entire plate, but the file was too large to download. I will work on this technical glitch.

I did not go to that website. I went through nearly all the pics I saw on worthpoint but did not see anything like this. It looks like a walled part of the Imperial city.

There was apparently no mark on the underside. Not sure if there was a pic or not. This is from an auction a few days ago in CT. I had to pass on this as I did not know much about this particular pattern,

 

Those Chinese walls were a hugely popular theme in Europe, along with pagodas, those half round bridges and people with parasols. And willows, of course.

 

that's the whole pic. I think it looks yellow in that one picture maybe because of flash or if they took the pic outside. They must have a picture of the back so hold on.

 

Looks Brit to me.

 

anyjewelry: Can you explain what you mean about the uneven glaze? Am I supposed to be looking at the thickness here or what? I am new to this so uncertain what that term means. Can you show me what part of the photos are you referring to?

 

If you look at the way the light is reflected in this photo, you can see that the surface of the glaze isn't entirely flat:

 

That was my impression too.

 

I think that's early 19th C Staffordshire made transferware. The confused botany is something of a clue, as is the colour. And the border.

 

thanks for all this very helpful information.

 

Could be wrong but I think this is hand painted, perhaps like Nanking type porcelain. What's the back like, did you ever find out?

the second platter you show there seems very common, I saw quite a few of those patterns on the worthpoint site.

 

Chinese porcelain and Chinese export porcelain are things I've tried to figure out with limited success. Every so often I join the Gotheborg Discussion Boards and try to find answers to a piece or other I've got around when I'm stumped.

I think AJ was pointing out the sort of lumpy look of the surface on that platter. Some Chinese export have a lumpy surface they often refer to as orange peel. There are often patterns and shapes to European tastes often in a Chinese style.

I can't say much with any certainty about the piece you show other than I do think it looks hand-painted.

This has similar central elements though certainly not an exact match.
