Description:
Bracket-lobed dish covered with a monochrome white glaze. Unusually this thickly potted bracket-lobed dish was made by sandwiching clay between a two-part mould. Outside it is moulded with eight vertical ribs tapering towards the foot from a bracket-lobed rim and in between these with double-lobed panels. Inside the centre of the dish is slightly recessed and flat, while the cavetto is moulded into petal-like segments radiating from the centre. The foot ring is splayed and quite thick. With the exception of the base, the dish is covered with a glossy white glaze peppered with many iron-brown impurities.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Contemporary Yuan metal work, probably silver ware, undoubtedly inspired the form of this dish. The barbed rim and raised ribs are characteristic of metal work rather than of the natural round forms employed when fashioning clay without a model. The shape may also be found in fourteenth-century monochrome red lacquer, such as a dish in the British Museum (BM 1968.1219.2). A Yuan dynasty dish of the same shape with underglaze blue decoration including a lotus pond and auspicious symbols is in the Shanghai Museum. Another example of this type of white monochrome dish is in the Meiyintang collection.
