Period:Ming dynasty Production date:1506-1521
Materials:porcelain
Technique:incised, glazed, painted, underglazed,
Subjects:flaming jewel dragon
Dimensions:Diameter: 22.60 centimetres Height: 4.60 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain dish with incised and green enamel decoration on a yellow ground. This dish has rounded sides and a tapering foot. Unlike most porcelains in this group with green designs on a yellow ground, this dish is not plain inside but is incised. Two prancing dragons are shown in profile, pursuing each other; in between them their flaming pearls float above a ruyi cloud. Incised in the centre, within a double ring medallion, two ‘ruyi’ clouds are joined together with an undulating streamer. Outside the dish is incised with two dragons shown in profile, chasing after flaming pearls among ‘ruyi’ cloud scrolls, overglazed in mint-green enamel on a mottled golden-yellow ground. The base carries a four-character Zhengde reign mark within a double circle in underglaze blue. The dish has been extensively restored for publication.
