Antique Chinese Porcelain 17C Porcelain Ming Wanli Kraak Lotus Flowers Pond

About the Item

Description Rare and nicely decorated dish on footring, spreading sides circular rim. Ca 1590-1620. With a central scene of a Lotus pond, the sides with anhua/moulded decoration of flowers. According to Rinaldi this dish can be classified as a border I (type b, with scallops) dish. Border I (c.1750-1625) dishes are small (c.200-220 mm / 7.87-8.66 inch), with a convex cavetto and an occasionally slightly flaring, foliated rim. The border has no underglaze blue decoration but the mouldings show a great variety of designs. Based on these designs it is possible to divide this long-lasting group into two categories (type a and b) and in chronological order. Type a dishes usually have very elaborate mouldings and in better quality pieces are clearly defined. Type b dishes have scalloped cavettos, with the scallops almost invariably arranged in double tiers. These pieces are usually coarser than the type a pieces with more complex mouldings. (Rinaldi 1989) Jörg states that this type of impressed side decoration occurs on small to medium sized kraak dishes, but not on the lampetschotels (large dishes). (Jörg 2002/2) According to Litzenburg similarly moulded kraak dishes are known that exhibit a central decoration with birds, vases, flowers, ruyi-heads, or ribboned emblems. Rinaldi notes that some of the landscape scenes appear to foreshadow the style of the 'Transitional period' (1620-1683).Two related examples in the Topkapi Sarray Museum were inlaid with jewels and gold, which attest to the value attributed to these simple export dishes.

Chinese Ming Small Vase porcelain Wanli / Transitional Hatcher wreck, Ca 1625-40
By The Hatcher Collection
Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
This is a hand painted 17th century, late Ming dynasty, porcelain Jar or small Vase which we attribute to the Hatcher shipwreck cargo, this piece being from the Wanli /transitional period, circa 1625- 1640. The Jar/ Vase is fairly thickly potted with a very white glaze to the porcelain. It is decorated with a man and a boy stood against a tree with rocks, mountains and flying bats in the background all hand painted in various shades of a clear under-glaze cobalt blue. The irregular shaped head, bald high forehead, and straight pencilled beard with moustache support this date and period. Notes: The Hatcher Cargo...
