Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:A dish of this type was excavated in the Xuande stratum at Zhushan, Jingdezhen, in 1984. Another is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei. From the Xuande period until the Jiajing era this type of dish was made with two basic designs. Xuande, Hongzhi, Zhengde and Jiajing examples are marked on the base with six-character reign marks beneath a blue-tinged glaze. Chenghua examples generally have an unglazed base and are marked by the outer rim with a reign mark in a horizontal line. The blue used to paint the flowers on the Chenghua examples is also much paler.
