Deep saucer, one of a pair

In addition to the techniques used to decorate the similar piece (cat. no. 628), this dish was incised with wavy patterns beneath the glaze on the exterior. A dragon pursuing a flaming pearl was rendered against a medallion on the interior bottom, and there are galloping dragons on the two sides of the exterior. White, hidden waves are faintly visible around the dragons. Notable is the mark, written in three rows with no circular frame, a style of mark that existed parallel to the more common type with two columns enclosed in a double circle.
