<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 2589727, member: 50&quot;]Chinese porcelain and Chinese export porcelain are things I&#039;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&#039;ve got around when I&#039;m stumped.</p><p><br /></p><p>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. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t say much with any certainty about the piece you show other than I do think it looks hand-painted. </p><p><br /></p><p>This has similar central elements though certainly not an exact match.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.carters.com.au/index.cfm/index/11858-chinese-ceramics-export-ware-platters-chargers-and-ashettes/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.carters.com.au/index.cfm/index/11858-chinese-ceramics-export-ware-platters-chargers-and-ashettes/" rel="nofollow">https://www.carters.com.au/index.cfm/index/11858-chinese-ceramics-export-ware-platters-chargers-and-ashettes/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img.carters.com.au/d7907588f051df4a5ed0aa0bd6995768.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>A c.1800 Chinese export blue and white ashette, octagonal form, deep underglaze blue decoration of flowering urns within a fenced garden, a complex floral, scroll and panelled border, large crack and old re-sticking, previously held by old staple repairs. 32.7 x 25 cm[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
