Notes
The slip-painted decoration on this dish is similar to a group of Chinese porcelain wares often associated with the provincial potteries in Guangdong province shipped out of the port of Swatow in South China. Arthur Lane has included these among his 'Kirman monochrome' group. The colour of the Chinese celadon imitation wares, varied according to firing temperatures and conditions to produce a pale straw to greyish blue colour. They were then enlived with slip painting in floral or geometric patterns, A kalian in the V&A collection is dated 1049/ 1658-9 AD, suggesting that many of these wares are mid 17th century,
