Dish with bouquet of lotus and water plants

Date1723-1735
Label TextThe basic design of this Qing dish derives from classic Ming porcelain produced in the Hongzhi period (1488-1505). The yellow glaze on Ming dishes tends to develop an orange tone. The blue-yellow color scheme on this dish can be compared with that of the "Eight-petaled saucer"-the two colors alternate in forming the primary patterns and the background color.
