• Description:
  Open, low arc wall, ring foot. There are three kinds of flowers, osmanthus, cockscomb and light bamboo leaves, painted with enamel on the white floor of the dish. The ink inscriptions in the poem titled “Super Monk Ink Chrysanthemum” written by Liu Song of the Ming Dynasty: “The dew fragrance is light and the autumn color is deep.” The upper and lower vermilion seals are printed with “High” and “Autumn Water”. On the yellow ground on the outer wall, the square arc hydrangea and lotus petal brocade patterns are carved, and the gaps are painted with rosettes, wild chrysanthemums, hemlock flowers, etc. The diameter of the three inch dish is about 11cm smaller. Enamel painting and foreign color painting are both made in this way, but the number is small. Most of the objects in the Qianqing Palace are only a pair, so there are almost no other similar objects except our hospital. Although the composition elements of the dishes are the same, the layout is different, and the tire is thin and delicate, especially the fine carving of the icing on the cake patterns, which shows that the enamel of the magnetic tire painting pays attention to the patterns of the brocade ground.
