A blue and white dish with convex centre and dragon border
17th century, China
An interesting piece, the form after an Islamic metal protoype with a raised convex centre, the outer border with two trailing dragons, the inner border with florals and stylised rocks, in the middle a bird on a rock. Not marked but probably Wanli period.
D 21 cm
Good condition. A few miniscule rim frits but no hairlines and no restoration.
