This pair of Chinese export armorial plates, circa 1800, decorated with the New York State arms and framed by a softly gilded floral border will be at our booth - Ericsson Street Antiques.

These are an example of important historical porcelain with a strong decorative presence. In the book “New York and the China Trade”, David Howard describes this style of decoration as one of the best examples of the pattern.
