A blue and white pottery deep dish - Vietnam, Late 15th/Early 16
Thickly potted and carefully painted in bright cobalt outline and wash with a xiangcai band filling the rim flange, flower heads alternating with leaf scrolls along the cavetto and a stylized peony roundel surrounded by a peony petal frame across the slightly convex floor of the well, the exterior walls displaying a jeweled petal band, all beneath a colorless glaze of faint ivory cast, the unglazed recessed base finished with chocolate brown wash (wear to glaze). Diameter 14 1/2in (37cm)
