Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Such hastily executed designs are characteristic of the Tianqi period porcelains exported to Japan, where they were known as ‘Tenkei-aka-e’ [literally, red-painted Tianqi wares]. Dishes with similar blue decoration and varying enamel work are quite common. Examples are in the Butler Collection and in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
