Period:Ming dynasty Production date:1488-1505
Materials:porcelain
Technique:glazed, underglazed,
Subjects:flaming jewel dragon
Dimensions:Diameter: 17.80 centimetres Height: 4 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain dish in underglaze blue decoration. Superficially identical to BM 1930.0421.8, this dish is distinctive in a number of ways. First it has a different shape with rounded sides, an everted rim and a tapering foot. The design of a prancing dragon is the same, but the creature has a thicker and more powerful body. There is a greater depth of shading to the cobalt blue. The rim also has a different border of classic scroll. Outside two dragons pursue flaming pearls among ‘ruyi’ clouds. A Hongzhi six-character reign mark is painted under the glaze on the base.
