This is a remarkable example of 19th century Chinese export porcelain. The platter features traditional motifs of wisemen, a dragon and a tiger.

The dragon represented imperial authority and dynamic energy, while the tiger embodied courage and balance, often paired with the dragon to signify harmony between cosmic forces.
