"An exceptional Chinese 18th century (Qianlong) export plate or earlier. It is a grisaille landscape of exceptionally fine detail. The thin thin lines give a furry appearance when viewed normally by eye.  But a heavily magnified view (see pic) reveals the idyllic water scene with incredible detail.  The top detail picture is about actual size (4\" diameter) on my computer.  Bottom detail is a much magnified view.  Very nice form with the slightly barbed rim and the old border decorations in grey and gold.   \r\n&lt;P&gt;\r\nAbout 1.5\" high x 8\" rim diameter. A little gold gilt loss. Alas there is an old tight hairline to the right of the center medallion about 4\" long. The line does not appear on the bottom. Also a small foot rim chip. Otherwise good condition.  \r\n&lt;P&gt;\r\n This is a rare period Chinese export\ta real tour de force for the collector of old Chinese export. Unique and not likely to find another."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
