A Chinese Blue and White Double Dragon Plate, Transitional Style, Late Ming to Early Qing
A Chinese blue and white porcelain plate decorated in underglaze cobalt with two animated dragons encircling a central phoenix medallion. The dragons are depicted in lively movement amid scrolling clouds and stylized wave motifs, rendered with expressive brushwork characteristic of the transitional period aesthetic. The base bears a stylized underglaze blue mark within double circles. The plate is covered overall in a pale celadon-toned glaze with visible kiln imperfections consistent with traditional firing methods. The plate shows age-appropriate wear. The rim is fitted with a later metal band (likely copper or brass). Diameter: 6.5 inches; Height: 1.25 inches.
Condition
The plate shows age-appropriate wear. A hairline crack extends across the interior surface and is visible under inspection. The rim has a small chip with gilt repair and is fitted with a later metal band (likely copper or brass). Minor glaze imperfections, kiln specks, and firing flaws are present. Surface wear consistent with age. Sold as is.
