This large blue and white Chinese porcelain charger plate is sure to make a big statement in your home.
It features beautifully scalloped edges, with rims accented by geometric diamond shapes with alternating Asian landscape vignettes of weeping willows and sampan boats.
This is a gorgeous charger to display, and would add a layer of interest to a large coffee table or up on a wall.
In Chinese culture, cranes are venerated as the prince of all feathered creatures. Embodying longevity and peace, cranes are often used as symbols of longevity, so this beautiful plate would be a great wedding gift. The tortoise also symbolizes longevity, power, and tenacity.
