Condition Report: Overall Condition; See description.
Earthenware dish on footring. flat rim. Decorated in different shades of blue on a white tin glaze in Chinese Transitional style with the so called ‘Lion of Juda’ in a garden landscape. Flower scrolls replace the diaper motif as a border around the centre medallion. On the sides and rim eight large and eight narrow panels. The narrow panels are decorated with Dutch flowers, most likely tulips, four large panels are filled with figure walking in a landscape near a shore, the other four large panels are filled with Dutch flowers. The reverse with four circles and four asterisks. The footring has been pierced.
The peculiarity of this border is that it blends typical Chinese kraak panelled borders with Transitional style motifs. The function of these large dishes varied from serving fruit or cake to being displayed on a wall therefore the original pierced footring was used to pull a wire through on which the dish could be hung.
