Blue And White Porcelain Platter With Floral Design And Foliated Rim

This platter is a traditional rustic style from Jingdezhen, a town long distinguished by imperial patronage. From the loose handpainted and slightly abstract design we can deduce that this piece was made for daily use in a casual home environment, or for export, likely to Middle Eastern countries where platters like this one are common accoutrements on the dining table.
