Plate
16th century or 17th century (made)
Artist/Maker | |
Place of origin |
Plate of fritware, painted in cobalt blue under a clear glaze. The large flange is filled with a band of scrolling foliage and six florets. The well is plain. A seated robed figure appears to hold a long-necked bottle. His legs are bare and a halo frames his hatted head. A pine tree rises by his side into a group of clouds with dotted bands and flattened flowers. Rocks with spiky grass and a spray of dots hang from the left and odd stripes with one T-growth fill the gaps between small mounds on the ground. Two large spots hang in mid air. The outside is divided into eight panels with dotted crosses. Imitation Chinese "tassel" mark in blue.
