Circa 1840 Chinese Export Blue Canton Octagonal 8-Sided Tile. Nice blue canton decoration. Good Quality and in Excellent Condition. This form is very rare. These tiles were used as protection for table tops from hot tea and coffee pots. They came in shapes of round,four sided square, square with chamfored corners and octagonal shaped like this one. Few are seen in Blue Canton but we have never seen any in rose medallion, rose mandarin,1000 butterfly, fitzhugh, cabbage leaf, sacred bird and butterfly or other 19th century chinese export designs.Schiffer's Book on CHINESE EXPORT PORCELAIN shows a picture and a exact duplicate to this tile on page #212.
