• Description:
  This dish has a wide mouth, shallow abdomen and round feet. The outer wall is purple, with a cone shaving phoenix tail shaped curly grass pattern and curly grass pattern on the top and bottom, and a white edge on the mouth and foot. The inner edge of the inner wall and the center of the bowl each have a scroll of grass patterns painted with blue material, in which there is a scroll of grass flowers and brocade patterns painted with white material, while the center of the dish paints the scene of women’s boudoir lessons. In addition, on the white ground of the outsole, there are two lines of the four characters “made in the year of Qianlong” in imitation of the Song Dynasty. The shape, glaze color and ornamentation of this dish are similar to those of the old porcelain 017944, while the figures painted on the two dishes face the opposite direction and are juxtaposed to give a sense of echo, or are a complete set of works.
