Period:Yuan dynasty Production date:1320-1368 (circa)
Materials:porcelain
Technique:incised, glazed, moulded,
Subjects:dragon
Dimensions:Diameter: 16 centimetres Height: 4 centimetres
Description:
Dish with moulded decoration, glazed blue inside and red-brown outside. This shallow dish, which has rounded sides and an everted rim, stands on a low foot ring. Inside in the centre it is incised with three clouds and is moulded in the cavetto in relief with two five-clawed dragons chasing one another amid ‘lingzhi’-shaped clouds. The dragons are powerfully designed with scaly sinewy bodies, S-curved necks and flexed claws. A high-fired monochrome mid-blue glaze coloured with cobalt covers the design inside. Where the glaze is thinly applied over the contours of the raised design the white porcelain is visible below. Outside the dish is covered with a dark red-brown monochrome glaze. Painted to just above the foot, this has crept away from the mouth rim. The base is unglazed.
