Fiziksel açıklama
Dish of fritware, painted in underglaze blue in imitation of Chinese landscape. Mark in cursive script in blue, repeated four times on the base. The flange band encloses a busy sequence of a double flowering branch, two dividing birds by a flowering bush, two sketchy pheasants, an expanse of leafy flowers emerging from the ground and an island with round rocks and huts. An eleven-bracketed Kraak frame surrounds the central jumbled composition. A central bamboo is hemmed in on the left by a crazy three-tier vase filled with strange branches and flowers. On the right two white birds stand on a mound. Below them are two pheasants. Unusual clouds and various fillers crowd the upper part. Four S-stems with a central shaded leaf and smaller sketchy leaves decorate the outside with pairs of crossed leaves as dividers.
