Beautiful set of three antique Chinese Famille Rose porcelain plates featuring hand-painted goldfish with oversized "dragon-eye" style eyes swimming among aquatic plants. Each plate is individually hand painted with slight variations, demonstrating traditional craftsmanship and artistry.

Likely dating to the Late Qing Dynasty or Early Republic period, these plates came from the personal collection of Martha Shaw, a Bellevue, Washington artist and longtime volunteer in the local art community.

The vivid orange goldfish, delicate enamel work, and finely detailed border decoration make this an exceptional display set for collectors of Chinese export porcelain, Famille Rose wares, or antique Asian decorative arts.
