A Monumental Palace-Sized Chinese Export Powder Blue and Gilt Porcelain Charger, Qing Dynasty, 18th century (likely Kangxi period). Measuring an exceptional 20.75 inches in diameter, this large-scale structural charger features a deep cobalt "powder blue" (Chui Qing) blown glaze ground, overlaid with a hand-painted gilt decorative schema. The gilt iconography features a central stylized starburst/sun medallion bordered by four large, symmetrical scrolling pomegranate and floral spray arrangements, a traditional Chinese motif symbolizing fertility, prosperity, and continuous abundance. The reverse reveals a characteristic wide, unglazed shallow wedge-shaped foot rim with gritty kiln biscuit remnants and natural structural iron oxidation spots typical of 18th-century Jingdezhen manufacture. Bears an early handwritten inventory collection label on the reverse. Condition Report: As-Is Condition. The charger features a significant historic structural fracture line extending completely through the body from the upper rim down past the center well, which has been stabilized with an older structural adhesive and fill compound repair. The reverse white-glazed walls exhibit visible patches of a brushed-on stabilizing restoration compound or resin overlay running adjacent to the fracture line to reinforce the repair. The gilded face exhibits expected, age-appropriate thinning, rubbing, and localized fading to the gold leaf decoration, consistent with its 18th-century age. View images carefully. Measures 3"H x 20.75"W.
