Each with a slightly flared and foliated edge and rounded cavetto, painted in nicely shaded underglaze blue with central bracketed

auspicious symbols (the gourd of Li Tieguai – protecting children from smallpox, and enhancing longevity) within thinly-outlined further

auspicious symbols alternating with sunflowers set within round panels linked by scrolls, the verso divided into segments

by thin lies framing pearls and dots

 

Ref : See Rinaldi, p. 109-10; for a similar dish from Rinaldi’s personal collection, see Pl. 104

 

Condition : Excellent, with expected rim frits. (Kraak porcelains usually have somewhat “moth-eaten rims,

due to the thin glazes that flaked with time and usage). A few footrim chips;  2 rim chips.             

One with chatter marks verso, one with clay visible in concentric circles verso, as Pl. 52 Rinaldi; fine sugary glaze.
