FIVE SMALL CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE FLOWER-FORM DISHES KANGXI PERIOD (1661-1722) With moulded cavetto and floriate rims, decorated with figures to the centre in a garden setting. 2cm high, 11cm diameter PROVENANCE: A Private Collection of Kangxi porcelain, Regional Victoria. The core of this collection was formed in the 17th Century in Holland by a family involved in the maritime East India trade, and has since been passed down through successive generations up to the current owners. The collection predominantly comprises sets of tea bowls and dishes for the Dutch market, many of which were intended to display as status symbols within a richly furnished house, rather than for daily use, and were a critical element in the spice trade.
