Materials:porcelain
Technique:glazed, underglazed,
Subjects:mammal bird insect landscape

Description:
Porcelain dish with ‘kraak’-type underglaze blue decoration. This finely potted dish has panel-moulded sides and a bracket-lobed rim and stands on a low inwardly tapering foot ring with a bevelled edge. The base is slightly convex with chatter marks and gritty inclusions and flaws. The designs are outlined in dark underglaze blue and infilled with paler blues. Inside, in a central lobed cartouche, two deer are shown within a verdant landscape, with a bird and butterfly hovering above. At each point of this lobed frame is a ‘ruyi’ head on a diaper ground. The panelled cavetto shows opposing pairs of cranes in lotus ponds, butterflies and flowers, separated by horizontal bands with dots and tassels. Outside are eight lobed frames alternately containing stylized peaches or flowers, punctuated by vertical bands of dots and tassels.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This is one of the most common types of blue-and-white dish to survive from the Ming period. Fifty-three similar dishes are in the Ardebil shrine predating 1611, all showing minor variations in panel designs or decorative borders.
