A matching set of seven Chinese export blue & white porcelain saucers and tea bowls, decorated with 'crab & perch' pattern, early 19th century, c.1800 description: On offer is this exquisite set of seven Chinese porcelain saucers and three bowls, ornately hand decorated under glaze in blue on milky white. These objects are elaborately decorated with patterns of swimming fish within geometrical borders, suggesting sea weed, surrounding a single crab pattern. The bowls gave a crab on their inside base, and a continuous scenery of swimming fish on the outside. The back rims of the little plates are decorated with flower branches. Underneath their bases these small plates bear a sacred fungus symbol mark within concentric circles. The bowls are marked alike. With only minimal decoration varieties, this can certainly be called a matching set.The bowls and saucers are generally in excellent condition. Some saucer dishes have some minute rim chips (hardly noticeable en needing to be mentioned for accuracy), but no hairlines or repairs. The seven tea bowls are also in attractive condition. Three of them have a fleabite sized rim chip, t are no other damages, repairs or hairlines. This is a very attractive set which displays nicely. Please view the pictures, which give a good impression of the wonderful quality and the outstanding condition
