Fiziksel açıklama
Dish painted in 2 blues. The well is plain, a dense border of narrow petal panels surrounds the reserve-painted centre. The posture of the white dragon resembles that of a horse with raised head and tail. Wings, stiff raised mane, two clawed legs and open jaw, are similar to those on dishes no. 156-159, though the ground differs in its design of highly stylised waves. Three angular branches with a leafy peach and further leaves decorate the outside with a pair of crossed leaves as dividers.
