Historical Context
Historical Context
From the 18th century onwards, workshops especially around Guangzhou (Canton) and later other centres produced brightly enamelled porcelain for Western buyers. These plates were sold as decorative cabinet pieces, souvenir wares, or as part of export dinner services. The “courtly ladies/figures in a garden” subject is a long-running theme in Chinese decorative arts, signalling refinement, leisure, and literary culture.
