Fiziksel açıklama
Plate of fritware, shallow, with flanged rim, painted in cobalt blue under a clear glaze. A reserve-painted band of crosses on the flange encircles a plain well. Within the double line round the centre a dragon twists its segmented body on a bed of scrolling leaves. It has a very long mane, open jaws, wings, a broad tail and only two legs. On the outside three branches with a leafy peach are separated by a star and crossed leaves. Imitation Chinese "tassel" mark in blue.
