This octagonal porcelain platter, produced by the Bow Porcelain Factory in England between 1755 and 1765, showcases a vibrant blue and white palette. It features a central oval scene depicting a picturesque landscape with a Chinese-inspired design. The surrounding border is decorated with repeating motifs of stylized landscapes in a similar style, highlighting the popular Chinoiserie trend of the 18th century. This platter is a testament to the Bow factory's mastery of porcelain production and their skillful incorporation of fashionable East Asian aesthetics.
