Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:With its yellow back, this dish is an early example of enamelling directly on to a biscuit-fired body rather than on to a glaze, a technique which was to become extremely popular in the Qing period. Reign-marked pieces from the Tianqi and Chongzheng reigns are comparatively rare. An identical dish which is also broken is in the Palace Museum, Beijing. Another complete dish of this type is in the Baur Collection, Geneva.
