Located in Downingtown, PA
Chinese Export Porcelain European-subject Blue & White Tea Bowl and Saucer, Neptune, The God of The Sea, Dutch market, Yongzheng Period, Circa 1730-35 The Chinese Export porcelain, probably made for the Dutch market, depicts Neptune, the God of the Sea, standing with his triton in the center of the design with a number of other figures to his left and right with three large fish or whales at his feet.
