More InformationThe traditional imperial yellow glaze continued to be used throughout the Qing period, mostly on bowls and dishes. A white-glazed interior contrasting with the yellow exterior was common, as seen on this piece. The precisely treated, rounded foot edge is superb in technique. The solemn shape with a perfect profile and the evenly glazed surface make this dish a fine example of its type. The glaze was often enhanced with overglaze enamel polychrome decorations.
