This might have been a pagoda with an octagonal floor-plate (many pagodas are 9-12m in diameter at the base. Potters used this colour combination from the Yongle period onwards as evidenced by excavated material from Jingdezhen where this tile was made. Archaeologists excavated a sherd of a similar tile in Nanjing from the Nanjing Porcelain Pagoda (Da Bao’ensi) and this now in the Nanjing Yishu Xueyuan 南京艺术学院.
