TWO CHINESE EXPORT PORCELAIN BLUE AND WHITE
RECTANGULAR 'HERRING' DISHES
QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795), CIRCA 1765
Each shaped rectangular dish with underglaze blue Herring fish, the larger
dish with two fish, each within an elaborate bordered edge and honeycomb
cell-pattern rim
9Ω in. (34 cm.) long, the larger (2)

Most certainly for the Dutch market, these dishes derive from similar Delft
dishes from the period. See D. Howard & J. Ayers, China for the West,
London, 1978, vol. I, p. 85 where a Delft dish is also illustrated.
