Canton porcelain plate with gilded painting and landscape design

The British Pole family ordered it around 1745. The port landscape border was popular from 1743 to 1752, and its elements came from a famous voyage carried out by British Admiral Anson from 1740 to 1744. The artists accompanying the group on this journey drew a large number of sketches. During his stay in Guangzhou in 1743, Anson applied some of the sketches to his customized heraldic porcelain. The pattern on the right side of the plate edge depicts the important British port of Plymouth, the left depicts Guangzhou's Huangpu Port, and the center depicts the landscape of Fort St. George in Madras, India. This pattern designed and customized by Anson later attracted many people to imitate it, especially the British market, which was particularly fond of it.
