Fiziksel açıklama
Dish partially (missing rim), fritware, painted in underglaze blue with a black outline under a clear glaze. The design is painted with a double-tailed phoenix about to pounce on a lion, against a ground densely filled with flaming clouds and three Chinese motifs symbolizing cash or currency, hence "cash" motifs. On the underside, above the footring there is an outer band filled with six reciprocal half-flowers between scrolls.
