most ethereal shade of blue

I think the red and creamy tan color combo of the box is super

I love the irregularity of the blue circles- sometimes overlapping

just great proportions

and would make for a spectacular cocktail service

Two Small Antique Chinese Export Blue and White Porcelain Dishes, Signed vintage basket most ethereal shade of blueThis is an unmatched but closely related pair of Chinese porcelain Kitchen Ming dishes, hand painted in underglaze blue with stylised flowerheads at their centers and loop and dot borders. These signed pieces date to sometime between the 17th and 19th century. The larger piece is a footed plate and the smaller is a shallow bowl. So pretty, and great for serving or holding little things. The plate has one small crack near the center, as documented.
