Fiziksel açıklama
Dish of fritware with broad flat rim. Decoration cut through a brown slip under a clear alkaline glaze. In the centre, a pear-shaped palmette prolonged at top and bottom in the form of Chinese ruyi sceptre head enclosing a flowering plant, and round the border, four petalled flowers in quatrefoils. The intervening space filled with flowing stylised plant forms. All cut in broad and narrow white lines through the brown slip, also on the underside of the dish stopping above the foot-rim, carved with four frond-like sprays. Two lines in underglaze blue round the outside of the foot-ring. Inside of the foot left white with the square mark in underglaze blue.
