Large, flat plate with polychrome chinoiseries and Dutch landscapes

Meissen 1732–35, Ø 27.9 cm, 2.5 cm high, underglaze blue swords mark 
The plate’s well is painted with Chinese figures on golden consoles partly on a ground of mother-of-pearl lustre; the lip has four river landscapes in oval quatre-foils between elaborate Baroque ornaments. The landscape paintings were probably based on engravings by Jan van Goyen and Anthonie Waterloo (cf. Ducret in KFS 50/1960 p. 24 figs. 37 – 41).

Provenance: Collection Rothschild I No. 29 (with label of the famous Christie’s auction 28.03.1977)
