Qing Dynasty-B&W Chrysanthemum Plate

Originated from a piece of beautiful deep cobalt blue chrysanthemum plate alternating with four pairs of identifiable conch shells on the center medallion. This is a very common design during early Qing dynasty, Qianlong Period ( 1736-1796). A similiar design also inherit to Jiaching period ( 1796-1821) but the chrysanthemum drawing become more simplified and the colour of the cobalt blue is more lighther. .
