Description:
Porcelain dish with monochrome yellow glaze. This finely potted shallow dish has a different profile from BM 1947.0712.291 and BM 1943.0215.16. It has rounded sides and a tapering foot. It is covered inside and out with a thin monochrome yellow glaze which has worn through in patches to the white porcelain body. Its convex base bears a blue six-character Hongzhi reign mark in a double ring beneath a blue-tinged glaze and a mark of three drilled holes, one filled with red pigment, arranged in triangular formation.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:The drilled mark suggests that the dish was once in a Near Eastern collection. Ming celadons and other Ming period wares with this mark are in the Topkapi Saray Museum, Istanbul. Dishes of this type are in several public collections. For example, two are in the Topkapi Saray Museum and another is in the Idemitsu Museum. An example in the Victoria and Albert Museum was inscribed on the base, in India, with the name of the Mughal emperor Jahangir (reigned 1605-27), the Hijra date 1021 (equivalent to 1612-13) and the weight of the dish.
