Comments:Published PDF date : Ming early 15th century Room 95 label text: Gallery 95 Label text:PDF A664 Large serving dish with lotus bouquetThis thickly-potted large serving dish is painted in the centre with a bouquet of lotus flowers, leaves and other water plants tied with a ribbon and a band of scrolling flowers around the inner well and outside. The rim shows a border of waves and the base is unglazed. Customers from the Middle East preferred large style serving dishes such as this for communal dining rather than small bowls of different sizes, which suited Chinese cuisine. Most of the porcelains traded in the early fifteenth century are of this robust, thick-walled type possibly because they withstood the sea and overland journeys better. The lotus bouquet motif was first used in the Northern Song dynasty (AD 960–1127) in for example carved stone evidenced by the twin towers of the Kaiyuan temple 開元寺 in Quanzhou 泉州.Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue decorationJingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮Ming dynasty, Yongle period, AD 1403–24 PDF A664把蓮紋大餐盤這件巨大的瓷盤胎體厚重，是餐宴所用。中心繪有一束蓮花、葉子及其他水草，用帶子系在一起；內壁和外部是一周卷枝花紋，口沿邊飾為波濤紋，外底無釉。中東的消費者更喜歡類似本品的大型餐盤，用於團契聚餐，而不是不同尺寸的小碗，后者適合中國式餐飲。十五世紀早期外銷的多數瓷器，是這種胎壁厚重結實的類型，或許因為這樣更經得起海上和陸路運輸的顛簸。束蓮紋題材最早在北宋（960–1127年）的石刻藝術等就有使用，如泉州開元寺雙子塔所示。瓷器，青花江西省景德鎮明代，永樂，1403–1424年
