Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This combination of green enamel on a white ground was invented in the Chenghua era. A portion of a bowl with an incised dragon design and green glaze was unearthed from the Chenghua remains in Zhushan, Jingdezhen. Hongzhi dishes of this type are quite common in European collections. Another such dish is in the Baur Collection, Geneva. As well as saucer-shaped dishes, bowls were made with this decorative scheme in the Hongzhi reign, as shown by an example in the Idemitsu Museum of Art, Tokyo.
