Antique Ming Wanli Period Chinese Porcelain Plate Unusual Design Ruyi
About the Item
A very nicely potted and painted plate of a desirable quality. Early Wanli reign, last quarter of the 16th century. Stunning piece with beautiful and unusual design of Ruyi and Lambrequins.
Absolute top Quality piece, similar examples in the Santos Palace musuem, see pictures.
This everted rim is decorated with a border of ruyi alternating with lambrequins trimmed with beads. This border overflows from the lip of the plate into the cavetto, which is unusual. The central motif, bordered by ogees on a blue-striped background may represent a flask topped with a pearl or a cloth purse that would have been attached to the belt with beaded cords. The outside is decorated in two registers with bouquets of peaches and flowers.
On the basis of her study of the decoration, Daisy Lion-Goldschmidt suggested that these kind of plates should be dated from the reign of the Longging Emperor (1567-1572) to that of the Wanli Emperor (1573-1620). Publication of material from the Witte Leeuw wreck, which sank in 1613, and near which two klapmuts bowls featuring the same central motif were found, enabled her to confirm her proposed dating in the postface to the 1988 reprint of her article." It is now known that interpretation of the elements associated with that wreck is complex. Daisy Lion-Goldschmidt also noted a similar border on a waterside landscape decorated dish from the Pusat Museum ın Jakarta, found on the island of Buru in the Moluccas and dated to the third quarter of the 16th century.
Since publication of her article, similar plates have been discovered, as regards both the central motif and the border. They confirm wide trading in pieces of this model. Shards of this type of plate have been found on the beaches of the Baja California peninsula on the northwest coast of Mexico. Others have been found in the town of León in northern Spain, in Macao and in the area of the Dongfeng and Shibaqiao kilns in Jingdezhen.
Blue-and-white dishes, without everted rim or with kraak-type borders, attributed to the second half of the 16th century also feature a comparable central motif - flask or purse. Examples include fragments found off the coast of California (Drakes Bay), a dish from the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, and a dish from the Medici collection.

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.
