Fiziksel açıklama
Dish of fritware, with brown rim, painted in bluish black under a clear glaze. Two reserve-painted sets of strange groups alternate on the flange: two walking figures are caught between three leafy hollow rocks and a gnarled tree, and a further three figures are set inside a cloud shape, one crouching on two bare legs surrounded by the other two wearing long gowns. The painting at the centre is divided in two by the exotic leaves of two trees rising from a composite mound of stripes and balustrades. Against the mound a reserve-painted qilin with a tufted tail looks up towards the upper half where two faceless figures in gowns are caught in separated clouds surrounded by stripes and leafy branches. Birds, insects, more leaves and a bunch of tulips fill the remaining space. Eight lobed panels with flattened leafy flowers and scroll dividers cover the outside. A double blue circle encloses six spur marks inside the base ring which has a central recess.
