Chinese blue and white octagonal export plate, Qianlong (1736-95) decorated in the centre with a stylized spray of lotus flower, bordered by lotus petals enclosing lotus flowers on a scroll-work ground, diameter: 9 9/16in. This design was used in Chinese armorial porcelain, for an illustrated pair of plates with arms of Elias de Haze and Sara Sonmans see Howard & Ayers, China for the West, Vol. Lotus-petal patterns became popular in Chinese export porcelain of the 1750s (perhaps due to Near Eastern influences) and there are numerous examples in famille rose and rouge-de-fer.
