A Chinese blue and white porcelain dish dating to the late Ming dynasty, Tianqi or Chongzhen period, circa 1620–1640.

The centre shows five figures in a landscape. One stands apart from the group, holding what appears to be a fan, while a pine tree rises beside a small thatched pavilion. The lively, freely painted scene is framed by an unusual border of stylised fruit and circular floral and symbolic motifs.

The reverse has three small painted motifs around the cavetto and an unmarked base.
