A pair of Japanese Arita blue and white porcelain plates, 18th/19th century, each painted with a derivative of the La Dame au Parasol pattern within an iron oxide dressed shaped rim, underglaze blue seal mark to base and bearing 'D & S Battie Collection' paper label, diameter 21.4cm. Note: this pattern is similar to the design for the Dutch East India Company by Cornelius Pronk, who sent designs to Japan, as well as China, to be copied onto porcelain.
