Antique Chinese 17c Kosometsuke Tianqi/Chongzhen Porcelain Roosters

Out of stock

Condition Report: typical rimfritting/mushikui and 1 firing flaw in centre with tiny crackle lines from it. Size 152x25mm DXH

A very nicely decorated Late Ming Blue and White Porcelain Dish with Roosters, Tianqi or Chongzhen Period c.1620-1635.

Dishes of this style with roosters are well documented in the literature, some examples in the pictures.

These small Transitional porcelain saucer-shaped dishes would have been used for the Japanese tea ceremony meal, the Kaiseki, small dishes for serving food at the tea ceremony are the most commonly encountered form of Chinese export porcelain for Japan. Made in China for the Japanese. The subject is of two young Chinese boys walking in a garden, owith a flower in his hand.  Very nice and unusual scene.
