Round plate with flower petals

The exotic design on this piece was characteristic of export ware. Its underglaze-blue combined with overglaze polychrome applied on a vanilla ground on the exterior displays a provincial taste. A chrysanthemum blossom on the center of the interior is surrounded by six leaf-shaped panels, each containing a floral spray. The six panels on the exterior alternate with floral branches. Interestingly, the black outlines, filled with green, yellow, lavender, and red creates an effect that is flat and strong.
