Dish
Provenance: China
Dating: Wanli period (1573-1620)
c. 1615-1630
Small dish on a footring with a glazed base an everted lip and a foliated edge, decorated in underglaze blue.
According to M. Rinaldi in her book; Kraak porcelain. A moment in history of trade, London 1989, p.109, this dish can be classified as a border VIII dish. In Border VIII dishes rims are always straight with a slightly flared and foliated edge. The panels on the gently curved cavetto are transformed into round or drop-shaped medallions. These are separated from the usual eight pointed centre medallion by thickly drawn brackets. Dishes of this type are usually small (from 13 to 20 cm in diameter). Auspicious symbols have become the most common decoration in the centre medallions, but floral motifs or animal appear as well. The grasshopper emerges as a favourite decoration. The underside is divided into sections by a single line bifurcated near the footrim. Each section contains stylized symbols or jewels and dots. (source: M. Rinaldi, Kraak porcelain. A moment in history of trade, London 1989).
In the centre a decoration of a bird perched on a rock next to a flowering chrysanthemum encircled by an eight pointed scalloped medallion. On the cavetto eight round, or onion shaped, medallions, decorated with peaches, the emblem of marriage and symbol of immortality and springtime, rui heads, head of the scepter Rui, signifying "as you wish", because the head is similar to the conventionalized form of a lingzi, it is also an emblem of longevity, and Musical stones, one of the Eight Precious Symbols, a symbol of Good Luck, also an emblem of harmony. In between each medallion a single looped bow. On the exterior wall eight broad panels with lines and dots. (source: C.L. van der Pijl-Ketel, ed., The ceramic load of the "Witte Leeuw" (1613), catalogue Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Amsterdam, 1982).
