Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:A slightly larger dish of this type, also with a Xuande reign mark, was excavated in the Xuande stratum at Zhushan, Jingdezhen, in 1988. Another is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei. Monochrome turquoise overglaze was first used on porcelain at Jingdezhen in the Yuan period, as evidenced by an ink slab excavated there at Doufulong.
