The piece is well potted of a very white porcelain and has a glassy glaze with a light blue tone. The foot-rim is very neatly hand cut.
The plate is very well hand decorated with good detail in varying shades of a deep cobalt blue, with a glaze of a very soft light blue shade.
The plate has a central hand-painted decoration of radiating flower heads all painted within panels at the cavetto, with four further flower heads in the central section, which makes a very striking pattern. This is a fairly well known Kangxi period (1662-1722) design and a very similar plate is illustrated on page 51 of the book On identifying old Chinese Porcelain by Willoughby Hodgson.
The outer rim has a cafe-au-lait mid brown finish and the reverse is decorated with three floral sprigs in cobalt blue.
We date this piece to circa 1745 or possibly slightly earlier.
