A pair of Chinese blue and white porcelain plates painted with a mountain landscape scene, 19th century

Notes
The plate is decorated in underglaze blue with an animated mountainous river landscape featuring bridges, pavilions and winding paths.

The central scene is framed by simple scrollwork borders typical of export porcelain intended for Western markets.
