Pair of Chinese Export Blue and White Porcelain Plates, probably 19th century, the borders covered with a stylized geometric pattern with cartouches, each containing a grouping of peaches, the central reserves with an elegant noblewoman and scholar seated together in a pavilion, the sides of each plate painted in a wash style with depictions of mountains, pagodas and boats, with apocryphal Ming Chenghua (1447-1487) marks on the underside, dia. 11-3/8".

Firing anomalies scattered throughout both plates. One has two minor nicks to the rim, while the other has four small chips on the rim. One has a hairline crack on the rim. No evidence of repairs or professional restoration.
