Chinese Export Blue & White Tea Bowls and Underplates with English Clobbering

18th Century Chinese Export Tea Bowls & Underplate Collection for your consideration. Each tea bowl/cup measures approx. 3 1/2 inches in diameter and approx. 2 1/8 inches tall. Each underplate measures approx. 5 3/8 inches in diameter and approx. 1 3/8 inches tall. Chinese, Qianlong, c. 1780s. Decorated with English gilding, possibly by the James Giles workshop. Intricately hand painted in cobalt blue against porcelain white ground. Oriental landscapes with pagodas, willow trees, and flying birds. The Asian motifs decorate the top insides of the underplates and the exterior of the tea bowls. In addition, each tea bowl has a cobalt motif at center on the interior with further cobalt decorative patterns bordering the interior lip. Very fine gold gilt adornments highlighted throughout. Excellent antique condition. Shows minor wear commensurate with age and use. A very faint surface hairline to one of the tea bowls as seen in the 9th photo which is not visible to the inside and is only visible externally under close examination. There are a few minor areas of gilding loss. See photos. Displays impressive!
