Technique:slipped, glazed, painted,

Description:
Porcelain dish with reserved white decoration on a blue glazed ground. This large dish has rounded sides, an everted rim and a low tapering foot cut inwards towards the base. The base is unglazed, revealing a pale creamy body sprinkled with tiny orange and brown flecks – iron impurities in the porcelain. Inside and out it is decorated with an ink-blue glaze with a design reserved against it in white. In a central medallion is a single flowering pomegranate and in the cavetto are four fruiting branches: peach, probably lychee, loquat and persimmon. Outside are four individual lotus sprays in white, the uppermost one with incised line details visible. The inner and outer rim, foot and join of dish to foot are emphasized by single white lines.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This dish is unmarked but relates closely to several known Xuande examples. A dish with this type of decoration, with a horizontal Xuande reign mark at the rim, was excavated in 1984 at Zhushan, Jingdezhen, in the Xuande stratum. Another dish of this type with a glazed base and underglaze blue Xuande reign mark in a double ring with different flowers is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei. A much larger dish with a horizontal Xuande reign mark at the rim, white decoration on a blue ground and different flowers is in the Ataka Collection, Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka.
