拍品专文

Enameled with the iconic view so familiar from China Trade oil paintings, this dish seems to show the Canton waterfront in about 1830. Only a tiny handful of porcelains were made showing Canton; the only other known dish like this was in the collection of Peter H.B. Frelinghuysen, Jr (together with a dish showing Whampoa), sold Christie's New York, 24 January 2012, lot 104.
